Land Acquisition Act, 1894
49.Acquisition of part
of house of building:-
(1) The provisions of this
Act shall not be put in force for the purpose of acquiring a part only of any
house, manufactory or other building, if the owner desire that the whole of
such house, manufactory or building shall be so acquired:
Provided that the owner may, at any time before the Collector has made his award
under section 11, by notice in writing, withdraw or modify his expressed desire
that the whole of such house, manufactory or building shall be so acquired.
Provided also that, if any question shall arise as to whether any land proposed
to be taken under this Act does or does not form part of a house, manufactory
or building within the meaning of this section, the Collector shall refer the
determination of such question to the Court and shall not take possession of
such land until after the question has been determined.
In deciding on such a
reference the Court shall have regard to the question whether the land proposed
to be taken is reasonably required for the full and unimpaired use of the
house, manufactory or building.
(2) if, in the case of
any claim under section 23, sub-section (1), thirdly, by a person interested,
on account of the severing of the land to be acquired from his other land, the
appropriate Government is of opinion that the claim is unreasonable or
excessive, it may, at any time before the Collector has made his award, order
the acquisition of the whole of the land of which the land first sought to be
acquired forms a part.
(3) In the case last
hereinbefore provided for, no fresh declaration or other proceedings under
sections 6 to 10, both inclusive, shall be necessary; but the Collector shall
without delay furnish a copy of the order of the appropriate Government to the
person interested, and shall thereafter proceed to make his award under section
11.
