Headnote	Land Acquisition Act, 1894 – Allotment of alternate housing site to the displaced persons – Property owned and possessed by the private respondents were acquired for the purpose of implementing ‘Mass Rapid Transport System’ (MRTS) Railway project, under the provision of the Act, 1894 – Writ petitions – High Court while rejecting the challenge to acquisition proceedings observed that the appropriate authority of the State Government to consider the representation made by private respondents for allotment of a housing site by way of rehabilitation – Pursuant thereto, representation was made before the State Government, however, relief claimed was declined – Writ petition against the said order of the State Government – High Court held that petitioners were entitled to alternate site under special category of displaced persons due to the acquisition of their lands for Railways – On appeal, held: The acquisition in the present case was not for the purpose of development of urban area or for providing a housing scheme to the residents of the urban area in which the acquired lands were situated – The acquisition was for a project of MRTS (Railways) on behalf of the Ministry of Railway, Government of India and not for the State Government or State Authority – Admittedly, no scheme was formulated in relation to the stated railway project implemented by the Central Government for providing alternative housing sites to Project affected persons – In the absence of such a scheme, the direction of High Court to provide alternative housing sites cannot be countenanced in law – Further, private respondents were duly compensated in conformity with the mandate of Act, 1894 – Thus, impugned judgment and order of the High Court set aside.
