Sl. 32 10.03.2026 Court No.19 BP WPA 2660 of 2026 Goutam Saha -versus- The State of West Bengal and others Mr. Kamalesh Bhattacharya Mr. Aninda Bhattacharya ..for the petitioner Mr. Samrat Sen, Ld. AAG Mr. Saikat Chatterjee ..for the State Mr. Satyajit Talukdar Mr. Arindam Chatterjee ..for KMDA Affidavit of service filed in Court today is taken on record. The petitioner claims to have acquired right, title and interest in respect of a portion of the plot of land being Dag No. 2642 within Mouza Kasba, J.L. No. 13, Khatian No. 924 under Police Station previously Tollygunge now Kasba under Ward No. 107 of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation in the District of 24 Parganas (South). The petitioner alleges that a portion of Plot No. 2642 has been acquired but since the respondent authorities have not demarcated the acquired portion, the petitioner is unable to enjoy his purchased property which, according to the petitioner, has not been acquired. 2 Mr. Bhattacharya, learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the property has been mutated in the name of the petitioner and the petitioner has also submitted a representation before various authorities including the Special Land Acquisition Officer, 24 Parganas (South) and the Block Land and Land Reforms Officer, 24 Parganas (South), Kolkata Block praying for demarcating the acquired portion of Plot No. 2642. Mr. Chatterjee, learned advocate appears for the State and submits that only a portion of Plot No. 2642 measuring an area of 0.20 acres excluding the area covered by the structure was the subject matter of acquisition. He submits that a Coordinate Bench passed an order on 2nd January, 2025 in WPA 29975 of 2024 directing demarcation of the acquired portion of land in accordance with law. Since only a portion of Plot No. 2642 has been acquired, this Court is of the considered view that unless the acquired portion is demarcated, the owners of the unacquired portion of the plot in question will face inconvenience in enjoying the unacquired portion as owner(s) thereof. In the light of the submissions made by the learned advocates for the respective parties, WPA 2660 of 2026 stands disposed of by directing the Special Land Acquisition Officer, 24 Parganas (South) being the 2nd 3 respondent to cause physical inspection of the acquired portion of Dag No. 2642 and demarcate the acquired portion by engaging competent Amins/surveyors for such purpose and a report of demarcation along with a demarcation sketch map shall be prepared, a copy of which shall be furnished to the petitioner. The entire exercise of demarcation including supply of the copy of the report along with the demarcation sketch map shall be completed as expeditiously as possible but positively within a period of twelve weeks from the receipt of a server copy of this order along with a copy of the representation dated 6th January, 2026. It is, however, made clear that it will be open to the Special Land Acquisition Officer to take the assistance of the Block Land and Land Reforms Officer, 24 Parganas (South), Kolkata Block being the 6th respondent or any other authority whose assistance and cooperation may be necessary for the purpose of physical demarcation of the portion of the acquired land and if such a requisition is made, such authority shall render all cooperation and assistance to the 2nd respondent in that regard. There shall be, however, no order as to costs. Urgent certified photocopy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties expeditiously on compliance of usual legal formalities.
