State of Maharashtra requesting the Deputy Secretary to pass an order of entering his name in the revenue records on the ground of the decision taken on 5th October 1989. Thereafter, there was a correspondence between the various officers of the State. On 30th June 2012, the Collector passed an order rejecting the application made by the petitioner. The petitioner was informed that village Chinchwad was not deleted from the benefited zone of Doodh Ganga Project and, therefore, the request for deletion from acquisition cannot be considered. The submission of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner is that the letter dated 5th October 1989 addressed by the Revenue and Forest Department to the District Collector, Kolhapur implies that the acquisition will have to be necessarily cancelled. He submitted that the said decision was withdrawn as indicated by the letter dated 21st June 2001 issued by the Desk Officer, Revenue and Forest Department to the District Resettlement Officer, Kolhapur. He submitted that in substance, the decision taken on 5th October 1989 of withdrawal of acquisition could not have been reviewed or recalled as there was no power to do so. He submitted that in any event, the same could not have been reviewed or recalled without recording any reasons.
