PARDEEP Vs. STATE OF HARYANA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BY this common order, we propose to dispose of CWP Nos. 16545, 18588, 18672, 18814, 16832, 16833, 16848, 16849, 16851, 20308 of 2004, and 407 of 2005.

(2.) THE petitioners herein impugn the notifications, issued under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short herein after referred to as "the Act"), dated 29.11.2001 and 28.11.2002 respectively.

(3.) IT is argued that as the petitioners have raised constructions, in the shape of houses, a poultry farm, a saw mill, cow sheds, dharamshala etc. prior to the issuance of the notification, under Section 4 of the Act, the government is obliged to release their land or at least their houses. It is further argued by reference to a site plan that the area, shown in yellow, has been released to a builder. The petitioners' lands, shown in pink, fall within the released area. This land cannot be utilized by the respondents for any purpose and would eventually be diverted to the builder.
