which are the sale deed and Annexure “M to “M-6”, which are the R.T.Cs of the lands in the said survey number which have been purchased by the respondent Town Municipal Council from the land owners for the purpose of the project. There is also no material to show that after the said purchase of the lands, the respondent-authorities have not utilized the same for the purpose of the project. On the other hand, Annexure “E”, are the photographs produced by the petitioners showing that there has been constructions made which have been utilized for the purpose of the project. It is nobody’s case that the proposed project has been abandoned but on the other hand, the contention of the respondents that on account of the interim order passed by this Court in so far as the petitioners lands are concerned, has virtually stalled completion of the project is well founded. Therefore, the contention of the petitioners that there has been no utilization of the lands acquired in Sy.Nos.171, 172 and 173 is not correct. Infact, the perusal of Annexure “F” would show that the lands in Sy.No.171, 172 and 173 are adjacent to the petitioners lands which are at Sy.Nos.174 and 174/1 and therefore, there is contiguity which is absolutely necessary having regard to the nature of the project which has been undertaken by the respondent-authorities. Therefore, the said contention is also rejected.”
