IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.14316 of 2010 Date of decision: 12.8.2010 Surat Singh …..Petitioner versus State of Haryana and others ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Augustine George Masih Present: Mr.J.S.Thind, Advocate for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) By filing this writ petition, the petitioner prays that award No.8, dated 25.6.2004, passed by respondent No.5 be quashed. It is contention of counsel for the petitioner that before issuance of declaration under Section 6, objections of the petitioner, filed under Section 5-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, the Act) were not decided. Keeping in view facts and circumstances of this case, we are of the opinion that the petitioner has raised above objection at a belated stage and as such, cannot be entertained. In the present case, notification under Section 4 of the Act, to acquire a vast tract of land, including land of the petitioner, was issued in the year 2002. The petitioner filed objections in the month of May 2002, which may have been rejected. Thereafter, declaration under Section 6 of the Act was issued and ultimately, award was passed on 25.6.2004. The petitioner accepted the compensation and Civil Writ Petition No.14316 of 2010 thereafter moved an application under Section 18 of the Act for enhancement of compensation, which is still pending. It is grievance of the petitioner that land of others was released from acquisition, whereas that relief was declined to him. We have gone through the document dated 30.4.2010 (P23), which clearly indicates that whatever land was left out from acquisition, same was done before passing of the award. No case is made out for interference at this belated stage. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 12.08.2010 (Augustine George Masih) gk Judge 2
