C.W.P. No. 15499 of 2003 Smt. Lalita Devi v. State of Haryana and others Present: Mr. Navneet Singh, Advocate for Mr. Sandeep Ghangas, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Patter, Sr. DAG, Haryana. .... The petitioner has prayed for quashing of the notifications issued under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act dated 23.2.1989 and 22.2.1990 (Annexures P-2 and P-3). The petitioner has also prayed for quashing of award (Annexure P-4) passed on 21.2.1992 as well as the notice dated 15.1.2001 (Annexure P-5). A perusal of the facts as narrated in the petition shows that the acquisition proceedings were initiated by issuance of notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act (for short the `Act') dated 23.2.1989 and the award has also been passed on 21.2.1992 i.e. more than 14 years back. After going through the petition it has transpired that some area belonging to the petitioner was also released from acquisition. Apart from the above, the Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Estate, Panchkula, has also deposited a sum of Rs.2,27,71,264.14 vide order dated 21.2.1992. As the entire acquisition proceedings are complete and also the fact that the notification under Section 4 of the Act was issued more than 15 years back and the fact that the petitioner has approached this Court belatedly, therefore, there is no merit in the present writ petition. Dismissed. ( ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA ) JUDGE 3.4.2006 ( AMAR NATH JINDAL ) Rupi JUDGE
