IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 21827 OF 2010 DATE OF DECISION: December 07 , 2010. Parties Name Savinder Singh & others ...PETITIONERS. VERSUS State of Haryana and others ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jasbir Singh Hon'ble Mr. Justice Augustine George Masih PRESENT: Mr. Sanjay Verma, Advocate, for the petitioners. JASBIR SINGH, J. (oral) JUDGMENT By filing this writ petition, petitioners pray that a notification issued on May 30, 2005, under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, (in short the Act) be quashed. Further prayer is to quash a Notification issued under Section 6 of the Act on May 22, 2006, and Award passed on July 16, 2007. At the time of arguments, it transpires that when opportunity was given, the petitioner had not filed any objections under Section 5-A of the Act objecting to the acquisition in question. Notification under Section 4 of the Act was issued in the year 2005, notification under Section 6 of the Act was issued in the year 2006 and Award was passed in the year 2007. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 21827 OF 2010 -2- This writ petition has been filed at a belated stage. As per ratio of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Star Wire (India) Ltd. v. State of Haryana, (1996) 11 SCC 698, this writ petition cannot be entertained at this belated stage. It is only contention of counsel for the petitioner that possibly, in view of release of land surrounding the land of the petitioners, their land cannot be utilised for the purpose for which it was acquired. We are not convinced with the argument raised. Next to the petitioners' land, a vast track of acquired land is available and land of the petitioners can be merged in that. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed. ( JASBIR SINGH ) JUDGE (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) JUDGE December 07 , 2010. DKC
