According to the learned State counsel, although the award was announced on 16.07.2007, but on account of status quo order given on 23.05.2007 in CWP No. 7845 of 2007 and a number of other petitions, possession of the land was not taken and accordingly, the same has been released in favour of the petitioner. In view of the above, the writ petition is rendered infructuous and is disposed of as such. [M.M.KUMAR] Judge [JITENDRA CHAUHAN] 16th February, 2010 Judge Shivani Kaushik
