There is good public interest in the construction of the airport, said the Division Bench
A Division Bench of the High Court headed by Chief Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice DVSS Somayajulu cleared the way for the construction of the proposed international airport at Bhogapuram village in Vizianagaram district by dismissing all writ petitions challenging the land acquisition, and a written appeal on Friday.
The court said in its order that the total area advertised for sale was 2,700 acres (2,200 acres for the construction of the airport and 500 acres to be used for cooperative activities).
₹678 crore has been paid to the landowners and the land in the state is 2,064 acres. The total number of affected landowners is 1,959, 1,937 of whom agreed on the approvals passed.
The court said that the government had already acquired 2,064 acres of land but 37.15 acres was saved for trial as per the terms. All the petitioners except those who owned those 37.15 acres received compensation.
Therefore, only a small area in the middle of the land area selected for the construction of the airport will remain with the government as there is a lot of public interest to allow the construction of the airport to start as soon as possible. it is not possible. it remains in suspended animation.
Further, there are no legal grounds to interfere in the cases.
