Ms.Palika Monga, AAG, Haryana. -.- ADARSH KUMAR GOEL,J. (Oral) This petition seeks a declaration that construction of road over the land of the petitioners was illegal and without the process of law. In the reply, it has been stated that land of the petitioners was acquired in pursuance of notification dated 8.3.1989 under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short `the Act'). The notification was duly published and thereafter notification under Section 6 of the Act was issued on 7.3.1990. The award was rendered on 5.3.1992. CWP No. 6128 of 1990 was filed by one Kaura Ram which was dismissed on 18.2.1991. Other similar writ petitions were dismissed as per orders Annexures R-1 to R-4. The petitioners were not the land owners on the date of notification under Section 4 of the Act. Averments in the reply filed on behalf of the State have not been rebutted by filing replication or any other affidavit. CWP No. 5282 of 2003 2 In view of the fact that earlier writ petitions were dismissed, proceedings for acquisition had been duly taken and that the petitioners have acquired ownership after the acquisition, we do not find any merit in this petition. The petition is dismissed. (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) JUDGE 10.2.2009 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) mk JUDGE
