The list includes specific plot numbers (e.g., 1067, 1068, etc.) in Kishunpur village of Khaga Taluk.
* **Objection Mechanism:** The notification establishes a mechanism for individuals with an interest in the land to object to the acquisition. Interested parties have 21 days from the date of publication to submit objections to the Competent Authority.
* **Competent Authority:** The Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Sadar Fatehpur is designated as the Competent Authority to receive and process objections.
* **Hearing and Enquiry:** The Competent Authority is required to provide objectors with an opportunity to be heard (in person or through a legal practitioner) and may conduct further inquiries as deemed necessary before making a decision.
* **Finality of Decision:** The order made by the Competent Authority on the objections is considered final.
* **Availability of Information:** Land plans and other details related to the acquisition are available for inspection at the office of the Competent Authority.

* Residents of Kishunpur village and surrounding areas.
* The Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Sadar Fatehpur (the Competent Authority).
