¶2The case of the petitioner is that the respondents had acquired the land belonging to the petitioner's predecessor by notification under Section 4(1) of the Act in the year 1991. The said notification was quashed and thereafter the land was released from acquisition and subsequently the petitioner purchased the same. However, the respondents reopened the acquisition proceedings in the year 2002 but the petitioner's land has not been utilized for any public purpose. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted a representation dated
