hello sir,
need your urgent suggestion and advice.
1) our lands were requsitioned in 1942 by British govt and then permanently acquired in year 1953 by govt of india for the extension of santacruz aerodome at mumbai by publishing in govt gazzette in 1953.
2) till date no compensation paid to owners,
3) purpose was for extension of santacruz aerodome.
4) we are fighting for the fair compensation with the collector and AAI, and the matter in under arbitration.
5) To our shock and surprise on inspection of the land site new facts emerged that the lands that were acquired by collector for AAI(airports authority of india) are not not used for the extension of airport of india but given on lease to some private hotel.
6) When asked AAI through RTI that whether they have any kind of agreement with the acquiring body owners,award copy made by collector / AAI, payment slip, posession receipt,taba pavti,or any kind of agreement between owners and airport authority of india/collector , the AAI reply was that they dont have any agreement of any sort and u may approach collector for all those details.
8) When asked concerned collector through RTI for any kind of agreement with the acquiring body owners,award copy made by collector / AAI, payment slip, posession receipt,taba pavti,or any kind of agreement between owners and collector,the collector replied they dont have any kind of agreement award copy or payment slip or posession receipt for the said lands..
8) some portions of the lands are lying vacant,some portion given on lease to private hotel, the lands are kept in non avaiation zone, and put under commercial 2 zone (c2)
9) We were shocked that how can the govt and airport authority of india change the purpose,the purpose for which the lands were acquired was extension of santacruz aerodome,but the airport authority of india gave on lease , the lease is also over now and no money compensation paid and no award made.
9) so now i need advice from you as the lands are not utilised for the purpose it was taken,no compensation paid, the lands were acquired under requsition and acqusition act of immovable property act 1952 so called R.A.I.P act which clearly says that if the purpose for which the land acquired ceases to exist the land should be restored back to original owners..
what the collector/AAI had done is against the principle of social justice and voilation of human rights by depriving the owners of their lands by not acquiring the lands properly ,not paying any comensation till date and the acquired lands not utiised for the purpose for which they were taken and given them to private hotels on lease for commercial gains.
10) so i humbly request you to advise me ,guide me how shud i proceed further from here and what shud be my course of action to get back my lands and stop the on going arbitration for compensation.,awiting your replies eagerly,
regards truely yours
meena
