(Oral) This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to quash a notification dated 10.8.2009, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, the Act), proposing to acquire a vast tract of land for a public purpose, namely, ‘for development of missing link-II (Dhandra Road to Sidhwan canal via malerkotla Road), Ludhiana. Further challenge has been made to a declaration, issued under Section 6 of the Act on 8.2.2010. On 4.5.2011, by making reference to the site plan placed on record, counsel for the petitioners has stated that land of the petitioners shown with red colour is situated away from the road alignment and possibly it cannot be acquired for the said purpose. Orally, we asked Mr.Manohar Lall, Addl.A.G. Punjab to verify the above said fact. Today in Court, report made by the Land Acquisition Collector-cum-Additional Chief Civil Writ Petition No.7888 of 2011 Administrator, G.L.A.D.A. Ludhiana has been put on record, in which, it is stated that in the site plan, situation of khasra Nos.1094, 1095 village Dugri has wrongly been shown. It is further stated that as per demarcation at the spot, most of the land in those khasra Nos. falls within the road alignment, for which the land has been acquired. If that is so, no interference can be made at the instance of the petitioners. At the time of arguments, counsel for the petitioners has failed to controvert a fact that in the site plan annexed, situation of the land owned by the petitioners was wrongly shown. Besides as above, the acquisition in question has already been upheld by a Division Bench of this Court in CWP No.12360 of 2010 titled as Hukam Singh and others v. State of Punjab and others, decided on 29.4.2011. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 06.05.2011 (Rakesh Kumar Garg) gk Judge 2
