(Oral) By filing this writ petition, the petitioner has impugned a notification dated 23.8.2007, issued under Section 4 of the Act. Further challenge has been made to declaration issued under Section 6 of the Act on 21.8.2008. At the time of arguments, counsel for the petitioner has very candidly admitted that award was passed by the Land Acquisition Collector on 19.8.2009. The petitioner has approached this Court at a belated stage. CWP No.20082 of 2010 In view of ratio of judgments of the Hon’ble 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 M/s Swaika Properties Pvt. Ltd. v. State of Rajasthan, JT 2008 (2) SC 280, this writ petition cannot be entertained. Otherwise also, land under acquisition is lying vacant with only scanty construction thereon, which too appears to have been raised with a view to save land from acquisition. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 11.11.2010 (Augustine George Masih) gk Judge 2
