Right of owner to require Authority to acquire or purchase land

(1) The owner of any land which is likely to be acquired for purposes of a Scheme may, at any time after the approval of the Scheme by the State Government under sub-section (3) of section 30, by a written notice to the Authority in the prescribed manner, call upon it to purchase the land or to request the State Government to acquire it. (2) If within six months of the service of the notice under sub-section (1), the land is not purchased or the State Government is not requested to acquire it, the Scheme, in so far as that land is concerned, shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and all notice and order, in that connection shall lapse.
