Holding
The remaining portion of the suit property is not economically viable and the acquisition of the entire parcel was not rendered unviable.
Facts
The Western bypass was constructed on the initial acquisition, leaving the suit property. The Complainant made representations and demanded the acquisition of the remaining land, but the Respondent opposed the valuation report.
Issues
- Whether the Complainant is entitled to the prayers sought regarding the acquisition of the remaining portion of land
- Whether the Respondent discharged its mandate under Section 122 of the Land Act
Reasoning
The Respondent discharged its mandate under Section 122 of the Land Act, and the Complainant's remaining portion of land after the acquisition in 2020 is not economically viable due to the failure to obtain development approvals and the current shape and location of the suit property.
Outcome
The Complainant's prayers are declined.
Orders
- The Respondent's mandate under Section 122 of the Land Act was discharged
