IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.19946 of 2010 Date of decision: 10.11.2010 Ho Ram …..Petitioner versus State of Haryana and others ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Augustine George Masih Present: Mr.D.D.Bansal, Advocate for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) This order will dispose of four writ petitions bearing CWP Nos.19946, 19954, 19979 and 19984 of 2010, involving similar questions of law and facts. For the purpose of dictating order, facts are being mentioned from CWP No.19946 of 2010. By filing this writ petition, the petitioner has laid challenge to a notification issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, the Act) on 2.6.2009, proposing to acquire a vast track of land, including land of the petitioner. Further challenge has been made to a declaration issued under Section 6 of the Act on 31.5.2010. It is primary grievance of the petitioner that despite recommendation made by the Land Acquisition Collector, his constructed residential house has not been left out of acquisition, whereas said relief was granted to many other land owners. To say that the petitioner’s residential house exists on the land under acquisition, reference was made to the photographs at page 59. After going through the records and perusal of CWP No.19946 of 2010 the photographs, we are of the opinion that construction raised is absolutely a new one and the same cannot be termed as a residential house. It appears that the construction was made with a view to frustrate acquisition of the land. Furthermore, in the recommendations made by the Land Acquisition Collector number of rooms given is different than the one shown in the photographs. It appears that the Land Acquisition Collector has given recommendation regarding some other construction of the petitioner. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed.
