IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.700 of 2011 Date of decision: 14.1.2011 Jeet Ram and others …..Petitioners versus State of Haryana etc. ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Rakesh Kumar Garg Present: Mr.Sandeep Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to quash an order dated 30.10.2006(P10), passed in favour of respondent No.3, releasing his land from acquisition. It is further prayer of the petitioners that directions be issued to the respondents to release their land/ house, which was acquired way back vide an award dated 21.7.2003. In this writ petition, it is grievance of the petitioners that despite recommendations made by the Collector, constructed house of the petitioners was ordered to be acquired by respondent Nos.1 and 2. Release order passed in favour of respondent No.3 has been challenged on the ground of discrimination. We feel that at this stage, no relief can be granted to the petitioners. This writ petition, having been filed after passing of an award cannot be entertained in view of ratio of a judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Swaran Lata etc. v. State of Haryana and others AIR Civil Writ Petition No.700 of 2011 2010 Supreme Court 1664. It was incumbent for the petitioners to lay challenge to the acquisition proceedings at the relevant time, which they failed. It is coming out from the record that to get his land released, respondent No.3 moved an application, which found favour with the authorities and his land was released. At no point of time, the petitioners have approached the authorities concerned to get similar relief. There is no question of any discrimination with the petitioners. Dismissed.
