By the said notification, Survey No. 9/7 belonging to the petitioner has been acquired for a public purpose to wit for village extension of I. D. Halli Village. It is stated therein that in view of the urgency of the case, the provisions of Section 5-A of the Act shall not apply to the acquisition of the land. It is the contention of the petitioner that the purpose for which his land was sought to be acquired was not so urgent as to dispense with the enquiry under Section 5-A and the decision of the Government that it was an urgent matter was not based on relevant facts.
