C.W.P. No. 17333 of 2006 2. When the matter came up for consideration on 2.11.2006, a Division Bench of this Court has stayed the dispossession of the petitioner. However, during the pendency of the petition, the claim made by the petitioner for release of land has been considered by the State Government. To that effect, an affidavit of the Land Acquisition Collector, Gurgaon, has been filed in the Court stating that the prayer made by the petitioner has been partly accepted, inasmuch as, total area of 1186.30 Sq.Yards has been released by the State Government as per letter No. 90, dated 2.1.2008, sent by the Director, Urban Estates, Haryana, Panchkula. 3. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and perusing the paper book, we are of the considered view that the land which could have possibly been released, has been released, which constitute substantial portion of the notified area under Sections 4 and 6 of the Act. This would also satisfy learned counsel for the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (SABINA) July 8, 2008 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
