RAJESH KAUSHIK Vs. STATE OF HARYANA AND ORS.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE present writ petition is the fourth attempt by the petitioner to approach this Court by way of filing writ petitions. Government of Haryana issued a notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 proposing to acquire 233.09 acres of land in Village Devi Nagar. We need not dwell on the facts regarding acquisition and award given regarding compensation. Claim of the petitioner is that as per the policy of the Haryana Government, he is entitled to allotment of a plot being an oustee. In the petitions, earlier filed and in the present petition, petitioner is raising his claim on the basis of the written statement filed to his first writ petition i.e CWP No. 9426 of 2000 titled 'Rajesh Kumar v. State of Haryana and Ors.', wherein in reply to para No. 2 of the writ petition, it was admitted that the petitioner is the owner of one kanal land since 1983. That writ petition was disposed of by remitting the matter to competent authority for a fresh decision after hearing the petitioner.

(2.) THEREAFTER , petitioner filed another writ petition, bearing CWP No. 6936 of 2003 tilted, 'Rajesh Kaushik v. State of Haryana and Ors.', which according to the petitioner was dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh one. However, the order of withdrawal has not been placed on the record of the present petition.

(3.) DURING the course of arguments, we called upon counsel for the petitioner to furnish any document to show that in the revenue record, he is the owner of the one kanal plot in order to corroborate reliance placed by the petitioner on the averment made by respondents in written statement to first civil writ petition filed by the petitioner i.e CWP No. 9426 of 2000. Unable to show anything from the revenue record counsel for the petitioner has raised another argument that in case of commercial property, even if building and super structure raised by the petitioner has been acquired, petitioner will fall into the category of oustee and thus he will be entitled to a benefit which is reserved for the oustees of land.
