Dhiman, Advocates for the appellants. Mr. H.S. Hooda, A.G. Haryana with Mr. D.D. Gupta, Addl. AG Haryana. RAJESH BINDAL, J **** Learned counsel for the State submitted that the notification dated 23.5.2001 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, vide which the land in question was acquired, having been quashed by this Court in C.W.P. No. 9798 of 2008 Om Parkash Grover & another Vs. State of Haryana & another decided on 29.7.2008 and C.W.P. No. 10570 of 2006 Hari Dass Dutt and others vs. State of Haryana & others decided on 18.2.2008, the present set of appeals and the cross-objections have been rendered infructuous. The aforesaid fact is not disputed by learned counsel for the land owners. In view of the aforesaid stand of learned counsel for the parties, the claim made for enhancement of compensation and also for the relief claimed by the State seeking reduction in the compensation assessed by the learned Court below, does not survive and the appeals and cross-objections have been rendered infructuous. As the land in question has not been acquired, the land owners cannot retain the amount of compensation already paid to them. Accordingly, the State shall be entitled to recover the amount of compensation already paid to the claimants/land owners in accordance with law. (RAJESH BINDAL) 13.7.2010. JUDGE Reema
