CWP No.8513 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CASE NO.: CWP No.8513 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION: May 29, 2009 HARJEET SINGH ...PETITIONER VERSUS STATE OF HARYANA & OTHERS ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE NIRMALJIT KAUR. PRESENT: MR. ARVIND KASHYAP, ADVOCATE FOR THE PETITIONER. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL) The petitioner has prayed for quashing the notification dated 20.7.2006 (Annexure P-2) issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act (for short 'the Act') and the Notification dated 19.7.2007, issued under Section 6 of the Act. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the land of the petitioner measuring 3 kanal 10 marlas situated in village Kanwala, Tehsil and District Ambala falls within the acquired area, on a part of which the petitioner has constructed his house which includes 3-4 rooms as well as a cow-shed. Learned counsel further submits that the respondents have adopted a discriminatory attitude by releasing the lands of various other land owners whereas, the house of the petitioner is not being released from acquisition. Reference has been made to Annexure P-5 which is site plan of the acquired land as well as the released land. We have perused the site plan (Annexure P-5) and find that all CWP No.8513 of 2009 -2- the lands which have been released from acquisition are on one side of the acquired land whereas, the land measuring 3 kanals 10 marla, on a part of which the petitioner has raised some construction, is right in the centre of the acquired land. In case the land of the petitioner is allowed to be released then the entire acquired land would stand bifurcated and the planning in the Sector would be hampered. In view of the above, we are of the considered opinion that the land of the petitioner cannot be released from acquisition. Accordingly, there is no merit in the writ petition and the same is dismissed. (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA) JUDGE May 29, 2009 (NIRMALJIT KAUR) Gulati JUDGE
