IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.4983 of 2008 Date of Decision:- 26.03.2008 Tarun Siksha Sadan Society ....Petitioner(s) through Mr.Saurabh Mohunta, Advocate vs. State of Haryana & others ....Respondent(s) *** CORAM:-HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. HON'BLE MRS.JUSTICE SABINA *** 1) Whether Reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2) To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3) Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? *** SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner-Society seeks quashing of the notification dated 17.11.2005 under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act (for short 'the Act') (Annexure P-2), followed by notification under Section 6 of the Act dated 7.2.2006 (Annexure P-6) whereby the land owned by it situated within the revenue estate of Village Saveli, Tehsil & District Sonepat, has been acquired. The petitioner also seeks consequential relief of release of its land from the acquisition proceedings. The aforementioned relief has been sought primarily on the ground that the State Government at its own has taken a policy decision dated 26.10.2007 (Annexure P-11) whereby it has been provided that the lands where some constructions have been raised prior to issuance of notification under Section 4, can be released from acquisition. The petitioner relies upon the photographs Annexure P-8 in order to contend that C.W.P.No.4983 of 2008 -2- a school building has been constructed over the land in question and in fact the school is being run by the petitioner-Society. It is claimed that the school was established prior to issuance of the notification under Section 4 of the Act. On a query, learned counsel for the petitioner, however, fairly concedes that no representation has been made by the petitioner-Society to the State Government in terms of the above-mentioned policy dated 26.10.2007. In these circumstances, instead of going into merits of the petitioner's claim, we deem it appropriate to dispose of this petition with liberty to the petitioner to make a representation to the State Government in the light of the above-mentioned Government policy and if any such representation is made within two weeks from today, we direct that the Competent Authority shall consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law as early as possible and preferably within two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
