IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.16905 of 2011 Date of decision: 09.09.2011 Jai Singh and others …..Petitioners versus State of Haryana and others ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Augustine George Masih Present: Ms.Sonia G.Singh, Advocate for the petitioners Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) This writ petition has been filed with a prayer that directions be issued to the respondents to release from acquisition, the constructed houses of the petitioners as per Policy statement dated 26.10.2007. Record reveals that the land, in which alleged construction is in existence, was acquired by the State of Haryana by issuing the notifications under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, the Act) on 11.7.2006 and 16.7.2007 respectively. Thereafter, an award was passed on 20.7.2009. In this writ petition, there is no challenge so far as the notifications and award mentioned above are concerned. It appears that the acquisition had become final way back in the year 2009 when an award was passed. It is also an admitted fact that when an opportunity was given, the petitioners have failed to file any objection under Section 5-A of the Act. If that is so, in view of ratio of judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Delhi Administration v. Gurdip Singh Uban and others, AIR 1999 SC 3822, petitioners have lost their right to lay challenge to the acquisition proceedings. Furthermore, the construction raised appears to be a temporary one and may have been raised after issuance of notification under Section 4 of the Act. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed.
