IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.21856 of 2010 Date of decision: 8.12.2010 M/s Pioneer Urban Land and Infrastructure Ltd. …..Petitioner versus State of Haryana and others ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Augustine George Masih Present: Mr.Sanjay Vij, Advocate for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) By filing this writ petition, the petitioner has laid challenge to a notification dated 2.6.2009 (P1), issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, the Act), proposing to acquire a vast track of land measuring 850.10 acres, including about 3 kanal land of the petitioner. Further challenge has been made to a notification issued under Section 6 of the Act on 31.5.2010 (P3). By making reference to the site plan, counsel for the petitioner has tried to impress upon us that the land proposed to be acquired, falls within the licensed colony owned by the petitioner and it can be better used by the petitioner and not the acquiring authority. Be that as it may, we have seen the site plan, a perusal of which indicates that the land falls on the road and it can be utilized by the acquiring authority for any good purpose, may be for providing infrastructural facilities or any other purpose, as it may deem fit and proper. Civil Writ Petition No.21856 of 2010 Counsel for the petitioner has failed to make out any case of discrimination in acquiring land of the petitioner. It is also not in dispute that as per provisions of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975, the petitioner has already got a licence to develop a colony in an area measuring more than 60 acres. Only a small piece of land owned by the petitioner, for which, it applied for change of land use certificate, after issuance of notification under Section 4 of the Act, is going to be acquired. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 08.12.2010 (Augustine George Masih) gk Judge 2
