IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.6791 of 2011 Date of decision: 21.04.2011 Jagpal Singh …..Petitioner versus State of Haryana and others ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Rakesh Kumar Garg Present: Mr.S.P.Chahar, Advocate for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to quash a notification dated 24.12.2007 (P1), issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, the Act), proposing to acquire a vast tract of land, including 283.33 square yards of land owned by the petitioner. Further challenge is to a declaration, issued under Section 6 of the Act on 23.12.2008 (P2). Notice issued under Section 9 of the Act on 3.6.2010 is also under challenge. Civil Writ Petition No.6791 of 2011 It is grievance of the petitioner that despite Policy in existence, constructed building of the petitioner has been put under acquisition. Perusal of the photographs indicates that the construction is not habitable and appears to have been made after issuance of a notification under Section 4 of the Act on 24.12.2007. Photographs put on record, further shows that the contention of counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner had installed an Atta Chaki in the building in dispute, is not correct. At the time of arguments, counsel for the petitioner has very fairly admitted that when an opportunity was granted, the petitioner had failed to file objections under Section 5-A of the Act, to oppose the acquisition in question. Further, before filing of this writ petition, an award has also been passed on 23.6.2010. On account of above said two facts and in view of ratio of the judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Delhi Administration v. Gurdip Singh Uban and others, AIR 1999 SC 3822 and Swaran Lata etc. v. State of Haryana and others AIR 2010 Supreme Court 1664, we feel that no relief can be granted to the petitioner. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 21.04.2011 (Rakesh Kumar Garg) gk Judge 2
