IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.17087 of 2010 Date of decision: 22.9.2010 Rakesh Sharma and another …..Petitioners versus State of Haryana and others ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Augustine George Masih Present: Mr.Naveen S.Bhardwaj, Advocate for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) This writ petition has been filed to lay challenge to a notification dated 26.9.2007 (P2), issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, the Act), proposing to acquire a vast track of land, including 500 square yards of vacant land of the petitioner. Further challenge is to the declaration issued under Section 6 of the Act on 25.9.2008 (P3). It is case of the petitioners that they had purchased a small plot for residential purposes and if the same is allowed to be acquired, they will have no place to construct his residential house. It is not in dispute that plot of the petitioners is lying vacant. Merely because, a large number of constructed houses have been left out of acquisition, this will give no right to the petitioners to claim release of vacant plot of land, as has been prayed in this case. The petitioners have failed to demonstrate any discrimination in not releasing his land. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed.
