(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 5.2.2010, proposing to acquire 67.33 acres of land, including land of the petitioners for construction of 3rd water works at village Ninan, tehsil and district Bhiwani. Further challenge has been made to a declaration, issued under Section 6 of the Act, declaring an intention to acquire above said land. Perusal of the record indicates that land has been ordered to be acquired to construct a water works. Before ordering acquisition, the petitioners were given an opportunity to raise objections to the proposed acquisition. Objections filed by them do not find favour with the Land Acquisition Collector. Consequently, final declaration was issued to acquire their land along with land of other land owners. Land at the spot is lying vacant. The petitioners have failed to show as to how the acquisition is not justified. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed.
