Anand Present: Mr. Rajbir Shehrawat, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Palika Monga, DAG, Haryana for the State. ... J.S. Khehar, J. (Oral). It is not a matter of dispute, that the land which is subject matter of challenge, was sought to be acquired by the State government with the issuance of a notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (hereinafter referred to as the 1894 Act) on 27.11.2003. Despite the objections filed under Section 5-A of the 1894 Act, the State government issued a declaration on 24.11.2004, under Section 6 of the 1894 Act, crystallizing its determination to acquire the land in question. The petitioner purchased the land in question on 16.9.2005 i.e. well after the issuance of the notification dated 24.11.2004, under Section 6 of the 1894 Act. In the aforesaid view of the matter, in view of the judgement rendered CWP No. 3501 of 2006 2 by the Supreme Court in Star Wire (India) Ltd. Vs. State of Haryana and others (1996) 11 SCC 698, it is not open to the petitioner to assail the acquisition itself, although it may be open to the petitioner to seek enhancement of compensation. In view of the above, we find no merit in this petition and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge ( S.D. Anand ) Judge 18.08.2009 sk.
