Civil Writ Petition No.12939 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No.12939 of 2009 Date of Decision:- 24.8.2009 Sher Singh and another ---Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others ---Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE J.S.KHEHAR HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE S.D.ANAND Present:- Mr.Arun Singal, Advocate for the petitioners. J.S.KHEHAR, J.(ORAL) It is not a matter in dispute that the petitioners' land was sought to be acquired through Notification dated 6.1.2004 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (hereinafter referred to as “The Act”). The process of acquisition came to be crystalized, with the issuance of a declaration under Section 6 of the Act on 17.12.2004. The petitioners do not dispute the fact that compensation for the acquired land has been paid to them. Through the instant writ petition, the petitioners claim a passage to their tubewell and house. Since the acquisition of the petitioners' land was not assailed by them in spite of the fact that the petitioners' land came to be finally acquired in 2004. The petitioners have also received compensation for the same. It is not possible for us to examine the claim raised by the petitioners for release of part of the said land, so as to enable them to have a passage to their house and tubewell as the learned counsel Civil Writ Petition No.12939 of 2009 2 for the petitioners could not invite our attention to any statutory provision depicting a legal basis for the claim raised by the petitioners. In view of the above, we are afraid that it is not within the scope of our authority under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to provide any passage to the petitioners in terms of the prayer made by them in the writ petition. Dismissed. (J.S.Khehar) Judge (S.D.Anand) 24.8.2009 Judge AS
