Karnataka High Court quashes 2005-06 land acquisition for beautification of national monuments at Hampi

The Hindu  

The High Court of Karnataka has quashed the acquisition of around seven acres of land for beautification and infrastructure improvement near protected monuments of Ugra Narasimha and Badavilinga temples at Hampi. The court held that the action of the State government in acquiring the land by dispensing with Section 5A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, which mandates hearing of objections, by invoking the urgency provision under Section 17 of the Act, was tainted with mala fides, and hence, the acquisition was illegal. said While the Archaeology Department of the Union government had claimed that these parcels of land were required for verifying the existence of sculptures and carvings, and for beautification and infrastructure improvement around these monuments, the State government had said that the land was needed to provide proper access to the monuments as the parcels of land of the petitioners were blocking access. The petitioners are entitled to be heard by filing their objection as the parcels of land are being acquired for the beautification of national monuments for which they cannot be acquired by invoking urgency clause, the court said.
