IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.7773 of 2011 Date of decision: 03.05.2011 Surinder Gupta 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.Mohit Garg, Advocate for the petitioners Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to lay challenge to a notification dated 27.9.2007, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, the Act), proposing to acquire 10 bigha 7 biswa of land for a public purpose, namely, ‘for the Storm Water Rahar Johar, Rohtak’. Declaration under Section 6 of the Act was issued on 27.12.2007. An award was passed on 10.4.2008. In this writ petition, it is grievance of the petitioners that after passing of an award, mentioned above, land was released in favour of a private builder, (whose name is not even mentioned in the writ petition). To say that the land was released in favour of that builder, reliance was placed upon a copy of the site plan (P6), showing demarcation of the plots in a colony. This site plan leads the Court nowhere and is not a proof that any land was released in favour of a builder and furthermore, it is not case of the CWP No.7773 of 2011 petitioners that the land owned by them, which was acquired, was transferred in favour of that builder. There is nothing on record to suggest anything in that regard. This writ petition having been filed after more than three years of passing of an award, in view of ratio of judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Swaran Lata etc. v. State of Haryana and others AIR 2010 Supreme Court 1664, cannot be entertained at this stage. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 03.05.2011 (Rakesh Kumar Garg) gk Judge 2
