IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.82 of 2011 Subhash Vs. State of Haryana & others Present: Mr.Vikrant Hooda, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner used to take panchayat land on lease being a scheduled caste. The land, which is concededly in the ownership of the panchayat, has now been acquired. The petitioner accordingly has approached this court with a grievance that his livelihood has been taken away by this acquisition. The petitioner has apparently no right which is either taken away or is abridged by the acquisition. The petitioner is not an owner of the land that he can complain against the acquisition. Merely because the petitioner used to take this land on yearly lease, which will now not be available, can not mean that his livelihood is taken away, for which he can maintain any grievance. The operation of law is taking place. The petitioner may have to look for some alternative, if any available. The petitioner, in my view, has no cause to agitate in the present writ petition, which appears to be totally misconceived. The compensation has to go to the owner, which is the panchayat. For claiming any compensation, if the petitioner has any right, then he has to approach an appropriate Forum. Dismissed. January 04, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
