ROHINI WRIT PETITION Nos. 33751, 33762, 33798 AND 33800 OF 2010 COMMON ORDER: All these writ petitions are filed seeking a declaration that the action of the 3rd respondent in passing the awards dated 18.03.2010 and 04.03.2010 pursuant to the acquisition of their lands vide notification dated 29.5.2008 is arbitrary and illegal, and to set aside the same. When the matter is taken up for consideration, it is brought to my notice by the learned counsel for the petitioners that in identical circumstances, this Court disposed of Writ Petition No.19038 of 2010 by order dated 28.02.2011 with directions as under: “a) It shall be open to the petitioners to seek reference under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 within a period of six (6) weeks from today, in case, no application for that purpose was filed so far. b) The 3rd respondent shall refer the matter to the Civil Court, which in turn, shall take into account the purport of consent awards, if any, covering the same notification.” Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition and perused the counter affidavits filed on behalf of the respondents. Having regard to the material available on record, this Court is satisfied that the issue involved in these writ petitions is squarely covered by the order in W.P.No.19038 of 2010 and therefore it would be appropriate to dispose the writ petitions permitting the petitioners to seek reference under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Accordingly, following the order in Writ Petition No.19038 of 2010, dated 28.02.2011, all these Writ Petitions are disposed of in terms of the directions extracted above. No costs. ___________ G.
