Publication of notification U/S 6(1)OF PMP ACT, 1962 for acquisition of OF Right of Users in Land in respect of Hasssan Cherlapalli LPG pipeline Project
## Report on Gazette of India Notification Regarding Right of User for Petroleum Pipeline
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes a notification published in the Gazette of India on September 9, 2021, concerning the acquisition of Right of User (RoU) in land for laying a petroleum pipeline in Andhra Pradesh. This notification, issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, declares the Central Government's acquisition of RoU for Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to lay a LPG pipeline from Hassan Karnataka to Cherlapalli Telangana. Key findings indicate that the notification specifies the land parcels affected in the Gooty Mandal, Ananthapuramu District, Andhra Pradesh, and vests the RoU with HPCL, making them responsible for compensation under the relevant Act.
**2. Introduction:**
This report aims to provide an informative overview of a notification published in the Gazette of India regarding the acquisition of Right of User (RoU) for land related to a petroleum pipeline project. The analysis is based solely on the text provided in the notification.
**3. Policy Overview:**
This notification appears to be an implementation step under the Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines (Acquisition of Right of User in Land) Act, 1962.
* **Core Objective(s):** The core objective of this notification, as inferred from the text, is to formally acquire the Right of User (RoU) in specific land parcels for the purpose of laying a LPG pipeline by HPCL, connecting Hassan (Karnataka) to Cherlapalli (Telangana). This facilitates the transportation of LPG through the designated area.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
This notification follows earlier notifications (S.O. No.62 E dated 27th December 2019 and Corrigendum S.O. No. 2055E dated the 25 June 2020) declaring the government's intention to acquire the RoU. The current notification represents the culmination of the process after considering the competent authority's report. The likely problem this policy addresses is the necessity to acquire land rights to construct and operate essential petroleum infrastructure (the pipeline).
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
This is a New Policy notification, thus the following details the main components, rules, and actions mandated by the entire provided text:
* **Acquisition of Right of User:** The Central Government declares the acquisition of the Right of User in the land parcels specified in the attached schedule.
* **Vesting of Rights:** The Right of User is vested in Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) from the date of the notification's publication, free from all encumbrances.
* **Compensation Liability:** HPCL is exclusively liable for any compensation as per Section 10 of the Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines (Acquisition of Right of User in Land) Act, 1962 (PMP Act).
* **No Claim Against Central Government:** No suit, claim, or legal proceeding can be brought against the Central Government regarding matters related to the pipeline.
* **Schedule of Affected Land:** The notification includes a schedule detailing the specific land parcels affected, including the Mandal (Gooty), District (Ananthapuramu), State (Andhra Pradesh), name of the village, survey numbers, and area in acres and cents.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The primary target audience and stakeholders are:
* **Landowners in the Gooty Mandal, Ananthapuramu District, Andhra Pradesh:** Whose land falls within the specified survey numbers in the schedule. They are directly affected by the acquisition of RoU.
* **Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL):** As the entity responsible for laying the pipeline and for paying compensation to affected landowners.
* **Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas:** The issuing authority overseeing the project.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Central Government (Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas) is responsible for issuing the notification and overseeing the RoU acquisition. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) is responsible for the actual laying of the pipeline and for compensating landowners. A "competent authority" is mentioned, but their specific role is not detailed beyond submitting a report to the Central Government.
* **Timelines/Procedures:** The notification mentions prior steps including a notification of intention and review of a competent authority's report. The "date of publication" is the trigger for the vesting of rights in HPCL. The process for determining and paying compensation is governed by Section 10 of the PMP Act, 1962, which is referenced but not detailed.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The intended outcomes of this notification are:
* **Facilitation of Pipeline Construction:** To enable the construction and operation of the LPG pipeline by providing HPCL with the necessary rights to use the land.
* **Economic Development:** By improving the infrastructure for LPG transportation, the project is expected to contribute to economic development in the region.
* **Legal Clarity:** To establish legal clarity regarding the RoU, compensation liability, and limitations on legal action against the Central Government.
**9. Conclusion:**
The Gazette of India notification represents a crucial step in the implementation of the Hassan-Cherlapalli LPG pipeline project. It formally acquires the Right of User in specific land parcels, vests those rights in HPCL, and clarifies the responsibilities and liabilities of HPCL and the Central Government. This notification facilitates the development of critical petroleum infrastructure and contributes to the transportation of LPG, benefitting both the industry and the region.
