PETITIONER VERSUS Union of India and another ….. RESPONDENTS CORAM:HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present: Mr. Aman Bahri, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Puneet Jindal, Advocate, for respondents No. 1 and 2. *** Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) Written statement on behalf of respondents No. 1 and 2 has been filed in Court. The same is taken on record. By filing this writ petition, the petitioner seeks issuance of a writ of certiorari to quash a notification dated 16.03.2009 issued under Section 20 (A) of the Railway's Act, 1989 (for short 'the Act'). Further challenge is to the notification dated 15.09.2009 issued under Section 20 (E) of the Act. It is contention of the petitioner that there is no necessity to acquire constructed house of the petitioner as has been done in this case without any justification. CWP No. 10322 of 2010 2 At the time of arguments, Sh. Jindal has put on record a copy of the letter dated 29.09.2010 received by him through fax, which reads thus:- “Dear Sir, In continuation to letter under reference it is informed that House No. MEP-1008 in Khasra No. 4725 belonging to Shri Satya Narain s/o Shri Sagar Mal, resident of Narnaul is not coming in the area being acquired by Dedicated Freight Corridor in Narnaul village. Please submit the same before Hon'ble High Court.” Copy of the letter has been supplied to Sh. Bahri. He is satisfied with the statement made in the above-said letter. In terms of the letter, we can safely say that petitioner's house is not under acquisition. Sh. Bahri states that let he be allowed to verify this fact. Be that as it may, we dispose of this writ petition in terms of letter dated 29.09.2010, wherein it has been stated that property of the petitioner do not fall within the acquired area. Liberty is granted to both the parties to get this petition revived if the facts are discovered to the contrary at a later stage.
