IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No.1324 of 1989 Date of decision: 6.3.2009 Dhan Parkash. -----Petitioner Vs. The Land Acquisition Tribunal and others. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present:- None for the petitioner. Mr. C.B. Goel, Advocate for respondent No.3/Improvement Trust. ----- ORDER: 1. This petition seeks quashing of award of the Land Acquisition Tribunal constituted under the provisions of the Punjab Town Improvement Act, 1922 (for short, “the Act”), declining compensation claimed by the petitioner. 2. Case of the petitioner is that a shop was acquired for a development scheme in pursuance of notification dated 30.6.1990 under Section 36 of the Act. The Collector vide award dated 28.1.1976 determined the compensation, but no compensation was awarded to the petitioner who had constructed the shop. 3. On reference, the Tribunal rejected the claim of the petitioner. In para 6 of the impugned award, it was noticed that the C.W.P. No.1324 of 1989 petitioner admitted that the shop did not belong to him and though he claimed that he had raised construction, he could not lead any evidence in support thereof. He also could not lead any evidence to show that he had let out the shop to M/s Arjan Dev Dhruv Kumar. 4. We have heard learned counsel for the Improvement Trust, who supports the view taken in the award. 5. None appears for the petitioner even though notice was sent to the petitioner. 6. The petition is, thus, dismissed for non-prosecution. ( ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ) JUDGE March 06, 2009 ( JITENDRA CHAUHAN ) ashwani JUDGE 2
