Bakri had prepared a sale and purchase agreement on 12 June 2012 and the sale was completed on 6 July 2012. In a Gazette Notification no, 13 dated 15 March 2011, the land had been gazetted for acquisition by the government, under Section 8 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1960. Evidence revealed that Bakri did not make a search enquiry with the Collector of Land Revenue in the Land Office concerned and thus was not aware of the gazette notification.
