First Land Acquisition Collector & Ors vs Nirodhi Prakash Gangoli & Anr

The case concerns an appeal by the Land Acquisition Collector against a Calcutta High Court order setting aside acquisition proceedings for specific premises and a common passage. The properties had been previously requisitioned under the West Bengal Requisition and Control (Temporary Provision) Act, 1947, before formal acquisition notices under Section 4 and Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act were issued. The core issue involves the validity of the acquisition process when challenged by parties claiming right of way on a common passage.
