CR No.4955 of 1996 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Revision No.4955 of 1996 Date of Decision: 31 - 7 - 2009 Karora Singh and others ....Petitioners v. Union of India ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA *** Present: Mr.Roop Chand Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioners. None for the respondent. *** KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA (ORAL) Land of the petitioners was acquired. An application was made under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act to the Land Acquisition Collector, Union Territory, Chandigarh for making reference to the District Judge. The prayer was declined by the Land Acquisition Collector on the ground that the payment was accepted by the petitioners without any protest, therefore, they are not entitled to seek reference. Apparently, impugned order passed by the Land Acquisition Collector, Chandigarh cannot be sustained in the eyes of law. Once the petitioners had approached the Land Acquisition Collector for making reference, it cannot be said that they had accepted the amount of CR No.4955 of 1996 [2] compensation pronounced by the Land Acquisition Collector, Union Territory, Chandigarh. Therefore, the present revision petition is accepted and the impugned order passed by the Land Acquisition Collector, Union Territory, Chandigarh is set aside. Land Acquisition Collector, Union Territory, Chandigarh is directed to make reference to the District Judge. ( KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA ) July 31, 2009. JUDGE RC
