IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.647 of 2011 Date of decision: 14.1.2011 Rohtash Kumar etc. …..Petitioners versus State of Haryana etc. ……Respondents CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jasbir Singh Hon’ble Mr.Justice Rakesh Kumar Garg Present: Mr.Ashok Kaushik, Advocate for the petitioners Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) This writ petition has been filed to lay challenge to the notifications issued under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, the Act) on 15.6.2006 and 14.6.2007 respectively. Further challenge has been made to a notice issued under Section 9 of the Act on 7.5.2008. Very surprisingly, the petitioner has nowhere stated that as to when award was passed. On our asking, it was brought to our notice that an award was passed in the year 2008. It is also coming out from the record that a part of the land owned by the petitioner with construction, was kept out of acquisition and only vacant portion of the land, measuring 1 kanal 3 marla has been ordered to be acquired. This writ petition, having been filed after passing of an award cannot be entertained in view of ratio of a judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Swaran Lata etc. v. State of Haryana and others AIR 2010 Supreme Court 1664. Civil Writ Petition No.647 of 2011 Furthermore, the petitioner has failed to make out a case of discrimination in not leaving out his vacant piece of land. Dismissed.
