spending huge amount from his retirement benefits. The petitioner is entitled to compensation for the acquisition. Hence, the submission that huge sum was spent on the construction of marriage hall has no substance. The other contention is that the acquisition and the demolition of the marriage hall could be avoided if a new alignment as proposed by the petitioner was accepted. But the same was rejected by the competent authority on the ground that the acquisition of the petitioner lands comes in the "main carriage way". If the property of the petitioner comes in the main carriage way, there is no other option except to acquire the lands of the petitioner. The expert body also stated that every attempt was made to avoid built up area, but it was not able to avoid to acquisition of the petitioner's land where the marriage hall is built up due to topographic and other engineering reasons. The notification under Section 3A of the Act was issued after getting necessary opinion from the DPR Consultant. This Court could not interfere lightly with the opinion of the expert body. In para 15 of this order, the judgments of this Court and the Honourable Supreme Court are dealt with, wherein those judgments held that the Courts could not interfere lightly with the opinion of the expert body.
