It is not in dispute that an extent of 288 sq. yards out of the petitioner’s property was acquired for the purpose of construction of Railway Over Bridge. It is also not disputed that by Award dated 24.10.2009 passed under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the compensation was fixed by the 2nd respondent and the same was also received by the petitioner under protest. The present writ petition has been filed on 10.02.2010 pleading that subsequently there was a change in the alignment for the proposed Railway Over Bridge and as per the revised alignment there was no need to acquire the petitioner’s property. Accordingly, the petitioner seeks a declaration that the action of the 2nd respondent in proceeding to demolish the structures in the petitioner’s property is arbitrary and illegal. The learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition, on instructions, stated that the possession of the property in question was taken long back. The plea of the petitioner that there was a change in the alignment has also been denied. Having regard to the admitted fact that an award was passed long back and possession of the land acquired was also taken, as held by this Court in SWAIKIA PROPERTIES PVT. LTD. v. STATE OF RAJASTHAN[1], it is not open to the petitioner to question the acquisition proceedings on any ground whatsoever at this stage. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed. No costs. _____________ G.ROHINI, J 13th July, 2011. AMD THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI W.P.No.3024 OF 2010 13.07.2011 AMD [1] [AIR 2008 SC 1494]
