IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.2265 of 2011 Date of decision: 07.02.2011 Harinder Kaur Heer …..Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Hemant Gupta Present: Mr.Har Naresh Singh Gill, Advocate for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to quash order dated 25.8.2010 (P6), vide which, prayer of the petitioner, to release land measuring 47 kanal 16 marla from acquisition, was rejected. After hearing counsel for the parties, we are not inclined to interfere in this case. It is not in dispute that the petitioner’s land was acquired by issuing a notification under Section 4 of the Act way back in the year 2001. Award was passed on 17.5.2001. It appears that thereafter, the petitioner moved an application for release of her land, which was declined by the competent authority vide order dated 27.4.2004 (P5). The petitioner did nothing, kept mum for more than six years, then again moved an application on 17.8.2010, which was rejected now vide the impugned order on 25.8.2010. We feel that at this belated stage, in view of the ratio of Civil Writ Petition No.2265 of 2011 judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Swaran Lata etc. v. State of Haryana and others AIR 2010 Supreme Court 1664, no interference can be made at the instance of the petitioner. It is also not in dispute that the petitioner was owner of 47 kanla 16 marla land, which was lying vacant when it was acquired. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed.
