The petitioners have approached this Court with a prayer for quashing notifications issued under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 on 14..8.2003 and 10.8.2004 respectively (Annexures P-9 and P-14) acquiring the residential plot of the petitioners over which they have built a house. When the matter came up for consideration on 2.7.2008 it was stated by the petitioners that first survey has been carried out by the Director, Town and Country Planning, Haryana and the report was not available. C.W.P.No. 14769 of 2006. 2 Accordingly, this court directed the learned State Counsel to get hold of the record to show whether land/house of the petitioners is still required for acquisition. Thereafter on 5.11.2008 an additional affidavit dated 26.9.2008 by the Special Secretary Urban Estate Department was handed over to the counsel for the petitioners in the Court on 5.11.2008. The matter came up for hearing when it was stated by the learned counsel for the parties that Director has passed an order dated 26.9.2008 stating that names of the petitioner appear at Serial No.11 of list A which include the name of those persons who have structure/residential houses over the land in dispute. Petitioner No.1 has been granted benefit of release of constructed area measuring 130.66 square meter whereas other petitioners have not been found to have any structure on the land in dispute. The area of petitioner No.1 measuring 130.66 square meter along with vacant proportionate area which would be equivalent to the released area has been exempted from acquisition. This satisfies the claim of the petitioner No.1. The claim of rest of the petitioner cannot be accepted as it is not covered by the State Policy from excluding the built up area providing for acquisition. Accordingly, their claim is rejected. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. (M.M.KUMAR ) JUDGE 26.11.2008 ( JORA SINGH) Anoop JUDGE
