LAND ACQUISITION AND COMPENSATION (NORTHERN



62.(1) The grounds on which objection may be made in a counter-notice to a
blight notice served by virtue of Article 61 shall include the grounds that
the claim made in the notice is not justified.

(2) Objection shall not be made to a blight notice served by virtue of Article
61 on the grounds mentioned in section 5(2)(c) of the Act of 1971 (part only
of affected area proposed to be acquired) unless it is also made on the
grounds mentioned in paragraph (1); and the Lands Tribunal shall not uphold an
objection to any such notice on the grounds mentioned in the said
section 5(2)(c) unless it also upholds the objection on the grounds mentioned
in paragraph (1).

(3) Where objection is made to a blight notice served by virtue of Article 61
on the grounds mentioned in paragraph (1) and also on those mentioned in the
said section 5(2)(c), the Lands Tribunal, in determining whether or not to
uphold the objection, shall treat that part of the affected area which is not
specified in the counter-notice as included in "other relevant land" as
defined in Article 61(2).

(4) If the Lands Tribunal upholds an objection but only on the grounds
mentioned in paragraph (1), the Tribunal shall declare that the blight notice
is a valid notice in relation to the affected area but not in relation to the
unaffected area.

(5) If the Tribunal upholds an objection both on the grounds mentioned in
paragraph (1) and on the grounds mentioned in the said section 5(2)(c) (but
not on any other grounds) the Tribunal shall declare that the blight notice is
a valid notice in relation to the part of the affected area specified in the
counter-notice as being the part which the appropriate authority propose to
aquire as therein mentioned but not in relation to any other part of the
affected area or in relation to the unaffected area.

(6) Section 6(6) of the Act of 1971 shall not apply to any blight notice
served by virtue of Article 61.
