IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.4599 of 2011 Date of decision: 15.03.2011 Arjun Singh and others …..Petitioners versus State of Haryana and others ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Rakesh Kumar Garg Present: Mr.Manish Kumar Singla, Advocate for the petitioners Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to quash a notification, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, the Act) on 11.7.2006(P1). Further challenge has been laid to a declaration, issued under Section 6 of the Act on 16.7.2007 (P2). Prayer is also to quash an award passed on 23.6.2009. It is further prayer of the petitioners that respondent No.2 be directed to decide objections filed by them on 27.1.2011, objecting to the acquisition of land, in dispute and to set aside an order (Annexure P5). It is apparent from the record that objecting to the above said notifications, petitioner No.3, who was the owner at the time when land was proposed to be acquired, came to this Court by filing CWP No.761 of 2010. Vide detailed order dated 27.10.2010, that writ petition along with three other writ petitions, was dismissed by this Court. It is an admitted fact that Civil Writ Petition No.4599 of 2011 petitioner No.2 had purchased that land on 22.10.2008 i.e. much after the issuance of a notification under Section 6 of the Act. After dismissal of the writ petition, objections were filed against the proposed acquisition in question, which were also dismissed by the competent officer vide order dated 21/24.2.2011 (P5). Award was passed on 23.6.2009. Under the circumstances, we feel that at this stage, the relief claimed is belated one and in terms of ratio of the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Swaran Lata etc. v. State of Haryana and others AIR 2010 Supreme Court 1664, it cannot be granted to the petitioners. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 15.03.2011 (Rakesh Kumar Garg) gk Judge 2
