....ree cases on account of those lands having been notified under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act for acquisition. The learned District Judge answered this question in the negative holding that as the land was intended to be acquired by the State Government for making constructions, the entire land would be excluded from the total holding of the respondents for the purposes of computing the excess vacant land under the Ceiling Act. 3. It may suffice to notice the facts of Writ Petition No. 5106 of 1982 for deciding these three petitions inasmuch as the facts of this case would be sufficient for appreciating the point of law involved in all the three cases.

....otification and contended that as the lands in respect of which proceedings under the Act had been taken, had been notified under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, the same could not be declared surplus treating it to be that of the respondent.

"What is necessary is the impermissibility and not prudently restraining from constructing on the land." 10. Section 42 of the Act was also not brought to the notice of the learned District Judge. Section 42 has an overriding effect. It lays down that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Act will prevail in respect of a matter covered by it.

In my opinion, there is no inconsistency in the Land Acquisition Ac....
