IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.6434 of 2011 Date of decision: 08.04.2011 Raghubir and others …..Petitioners versus Union of India and others ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Rakesh Kumar Garg Present: Mr.J.P.Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) The petitioners claim that they belong to a weaker section of the society and were in possession of the land bearing Khasra No.24//26 (1- 8), which was acquired by the respondents for construction of a road. It is grievance of the petitioners that they being in possession, were entitled to get share out of the compensation amount, however, when they moved an application in that regard, the same was not entertained by respondent No.3. It is not in dispute that the land in question was acquired by invoking the provisions of the National Highways Act, 1965 (in short, the Act). If the petitioners had any interest in the land, they were supposed to move an application/ objection under Section 3G of the Act. It is alleged by the petitioners that such an application was moved, however, respondent No.3 refused to accept the same. We are not impressed with the argument raised. There is nothing on record to show that to whom and when that Civil Writ Petition No.6434 of 2011 application was moved. If the application was not accepted by respondent No.3 in his office, the same could have been sent through a registered post. Nothing of the sort has been done. No case is made out for interference at this stage. Dismissed. However, the petitioners be at liberty to avail remedy under the Act. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 08.04.2011 (Rakesh Kumar Garg) gk Judge 2
