JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.Parvesh Saini, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Ashish Kapoor, Addl.A.G.Haryana. Mr.R.S.Longia, Advocate for HUDA. **** JUDGMENT M.M.KUMAR, J. This order shall dispose of CWP Nos. 14522 and 14536 of 2007. The acquisition proceedings initiated by issuance of notification under Section 4 and declaration under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for brevity 'the Act') on 29.8.2005 and 28.8.2006 (Annexures P-1 and P-2 respectively) are subject matter of challenge in this petition. A copy of the award dated 3.8.2007 (Annexure P-9) has also been made subject matter of challenge. In the written statement it has been pointed out that the possession of the land has been taken after the announcement of award dated 3.8.2007 as is evident from the perusal of para Nos. 1 CWP No. 14522 of 2007 -2- and 6. Therefore, it is evident that the writ petition, which is filed on 15.9.2007, has been filed after passing of the award. It is well settled that no writ petition could be filed after passing of award and taking of possession as has been held by Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Star Wire (India) Ltd. v. State of Haryana (1996) 11 SCC 698, Municipal Council Ahmednagar v. Shah Hyder Beig (2000) 2 SCC 48, C.Padma v.Dy.Secretary to the Government of Tamil Nadu (1997) 2 SCC 627 and Swaika Properties Pvt. Ltd. v. State of Rajasthan JT 2008 (2) S.C.280. In view of above, the writ petition fails and is dismissed. (M.M.KUMAR) JUDGE (SABINA) May 19, 2008 JUDGE anita
