Parties Name Kaushalya Devi and others ...PETITIONERS VERSUS State of Haryana and others ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jasbir Singh Hon'ble Mr. Justice Augustine George Masih PRESENT: Mr. Amit Jain, Advocate, for the petitioners Mr. Kamal Sehgal, Addl. A.G., Haryana; Jasbir Singh, J. (oral) JUDGMENT By filing this writ petition, the petitioners have laid challenge to a notification issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short the Act) on February 8, 1989, proposing to acquire land for a public purpose, namely, for development and utilisation of the land as residential and commercial/ urban belt area in Sector 14, Rohtak. Further CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 6752 OF 1991 -2- challenge has been laid to a declaration issued under Section 6 of the Act on February 7, 1990, finally ordering acquisition of the notified area. At the time of arguments, Shri Jain brought it to our notice that under similar circumstances, in Civil Writ Petition No. 5055 of 1991, the land owners were directed to appear before a Committee for reconsideration of their claim for release of the land. That writ petition was disposed of in terms of an earlier order passed by this Court in CWP No. 8647 of 1991 titled as Gian Chand Gupta and others v. State of Haryana and others, on November 12, 2008. Shri Sehgal has failed to show anything to the contrary. In view of above, this writ petition is also disposed of in terms of an order passed in Gian Chand Gupta's case (supra) and the petitioners are permitted to put in appearance, within three weeks from today, before the Committee constituted under orders passed in Gian Chand Gupta's case (supra) for reconsideration of their prayer for release of the land. The Committee shall then take a sympathetic view and decide their case for release of their land expeditiously. ( Jasbir Singh ) Judge (Augustine George Masih) Judge August 29 , 2011 DKC
