4. LAND ACQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES BUT THEREAFTER SURRENDERED

Lands which were acquired by the government for some public purposes and if it is not required for some reason, such lands can be used for some other public purpose or will be sold.

A. USE FOR OTHER PUBLIC PURPOSE: (Para 87-A of SO 28) If the land in question is no longer required for the purpose for it was originally acquired then it can be used for another public purpose. It is a settled law that the land acquired for public purpose can be transferred to another public purpose. Paramount consideration will be service of the public purpose. The owner of the land can not claim that if the purpose is to be changed, the property should be returned to him.

B. SALE OF ACQUIRED LAND : (Para 87-A of SO 28) If the acquired land is not to be used for any other public purpose then it will be sold. If the land is agricultural and situated outside of the MC limits then the first preference will be given to the owners. No specific procedure has been prescribed for sale of such land and therefore the procedure prescribed for open auction of provincial government lands should be followed as discussed in above paras. The land which has been acquired by the government is provincial government land and therefore, it is to be disposed of by transfer to other departments or by sale through open auction. The land can be sold either in open auction or through tenders. The department by which the land is surrendered will be given an opportunity to comment upon any bid or tender before it is accepted (Para 88). The sums realized will be credited to the department for which the land was acquired (See para 1C, 2C above) regarding open auction.

C. RESTORATION TO ORIGINAL LAND OWNERS : Para 87 of SO 28 under which there was provision for restoration of acquired lands to the original land owners stands deleted vide notification dated 13/3/2000.
