Land acquisition between two main railway lines and eklahare thermal plant railway siding..

Hello,

Im the owner of 7500sqm land in village panchak District nashik.

My land is between two main lines and eklahare thermal power plant railway siding. Dimensions of my land approximately 65m×103m and small area is after siding. 103m is parallel to railway boundary.

There is nashik 60m 4 lane ring roads ROB construction going on left side of my land at 60m. And on right side there are houses at 130m.

There is also nashik shirdi railway line is proposed and junction at 600m from my lands left side.

And also kasara-manmad 3rd 4th railway lines sanctioned by central government which passing from my 65m land.

On my land there is small 10ft railway gate.

Its a complete landlocked situation. After kasara-manmad 3rd 4th railway lines its impossible to do anything on my land.

State government gives adjacent land Rs 4180 per square meter as base rate and after main lines just opposite my land rate is Rs 10005per square meter. That clearly shows my lands development loss.

What should I get after objection.

Pls guide me.

Thank you.

Quick Summary

A landowner in Nashik is seeking guidance regarding land acquisition for new railway lines that will bisect their property, effectively landlocking it. The land is situated between two main railway lines and the Eklahare thermal power plant's railway siding. With proposed ring road construction and sanctioned third and fourth railway lines passing through the plot, the owner fears significant development loss and is questioning fair compensation based on adjacent land rates.

When submitting your formal objection to the Competent Authority for Land Acquisition (CALA) or District Collector, raise the following key legal grounds,Under standard land acquisition laws, if partial acquisition renders the remaining portion unusable or inaccessible, the acquiring authority must acquire the entire parcel or pay heavy severance damages as per Section 28 / Section 30 of RFCTLARR Act.

You can argue that the combination of two main lines, the Eklahare siding, the new 3rd/4th Kasara-Manmad lines, and the ring road ROB physically traps your remaining land. You should demand that the authorities either acquire the entire 7,500 sq. m parcel or award 100% severance compensation on the unacquired fraction.

You can add in your argument that as per law, the market value must be fixed based on the highest rate of similar land in the vicinity, sales deeds of similar land registered in the area, or the average of top sales transactions in Panchak village over the past 3 years—whichever is higher. Point to the ₹10,005 rate and the upcoming Nashik Ring Road ROB and Shirdi Junction (600m away) as factors establishing high potential commercial/infrastructure value.

Explicitly write: "Due to 3rd/4th lines and existing sidings, the land is rendered completely unusable and inaccessible. Under statutory principles of severance, the acquiring body should acquire the full 7,500 sq. m area at full market value plus solatium."

If the CALA passes an unsatisfactory award, you have the legal right under Section 20H(5) of the Railways Act to refer the matter to an Arbitrator appointed by the Central Government (usually the Divisional Commissioner) to enhancement of compensation.
