An award was passed on 26.10.1995. It is specific case of the petitioner that till today, compensation amount has not been disbursed to the petitioner. On 28.4.2011, following order was passed by this Court: Civil Writ Petition No.7383 of 2011 “Shri S.S.Patter, Sr.DAG Haryana is directed to verify whether compensation amount has been paid to the petitioner or not. Adjourned to May 6, 2011.” In response thereto, it has been brought to our notice by the State counsel Ms.Palika Monga, DAG Haryana that after passing of an award, the compensation amount was deposited with the Land Acquisition Collector and the petitioner may collect the same at any time. So far as prayer for quashing of the notifications is concerned, we are of the opinion that after such a long time, in view of ratio of judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Swaran Lata etc. v. State of Haryana and others AIR 2010 Supreme Court 1664, the writ petition is not maintainable. The petitioner may, if so advised, approach the Land Acquisition Collector, for disbursement of the compensation amount. Disposed of. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 10.05.2011 (Rakesh Kumar Garg) gk Judge 2
