Land Acquisition - acquired for one purpose can be used for another

respondents are not barred from utilizing the land for any other purpose
than the one for which the land was required. It is well settled principle
laid down in a catena of judgments. In the case of Union of India v. Jaswant
Rai Kochhar MANU/SC/0358/1996 : (1996) 3 S.C.C. 491, it has been held that
land acquired for public purpose may be used for another purpose. Similar
view has been taken in the cases of Ravi Khullar v. Union of India
MANU/SC/1906/2007 : (2007) 5 S.C.C. 231; State of Maharashtra v. Mahadeo
Deoman Rai alias kalal MANU/SC/0471/1990 : (1990) 3 S.C.C. 579; and Bhagat
Singh v. State of U.P. MANU/SC/0774/1998 : (1999) 2 S.C.C. 384
