V.GOPALA GOWDA, J. -
(1.)DELAY condoned. Leave granted.
(2.)THESE appeals are filed by the appellant questioning the correctness of the judgment and
final Order dated 05.04.2011 passed in C.W.P. No.
7746 of 2009 and order dated 16.12.2011 passed in Review Application No. 388 of 2011 by the High
Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh, urging
various facts and legal contentions in
justification of his claim.
Necessary relevant facts are stated hereunder to appreciate the case of the appellant and also to
find out whether the appellant is entitled for the
relief as prayed in this appeal.
The appellant is the owner of 5 Kanals 6 Marlas
of land out of which 934 square yards have been
left out of acquisition. On 07.02.2008, under the
Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1977, the
Haryana Urban Development Authority issued a notice
for acquisition of land including that of the
appellant for public purpose namely, for the
development and utilization of the land as
residential and commercial purposes. The
notification was issued under Section 4 of the Land
Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short 'the Act') and the
Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Estate,
Faridabad, Haryana was authorized to issue public
notice on the substance of notification at
convenient places in the locality. He was also
authorized to survey upon the land and take
necessary action regarding the same. The appellant
filed a detailed objection under Section 5A of the
Act categorically stating that the appellant has
raised an A Class construction on the concerned
area in the year 1999 -2000 and therefore, inclusion
of the land for the purpose of acquisition is not
justified. In the meanwhile, on 10.03.2008, the
said land was released by the Authority in favour
of Ritwiz Builders and Developers Pvt. Ltd.
However, on 15.09.2008, the Land Acquisition
Collector considered the objection filed by the
appellant under Section 5A of the Act and as per
his report, exempted the land of the appellant from
acquisition since there was already a residential
building on the land on the date of the
notification. In spite of the report produced by
the Land Acquisition Collector, the Haryana Urban
Development Authority vide notification dated
06.02.2009 made a declaration that the appellant's land is to be acquired for the development of
residential and commercial Sector Nos. 76,77 and 78
for which the notification was initially issued on
07.02.2008.
(3.)IT is the case of the appellant that while issuing the notification under Section 6 of the
Act, the property adjoining to the land of the
appellant, which belongs to one M/s. Harpreet Food,
was released. Though the respondent Authority has
released a portion of the appellant's property,
some part of the built -up and constructed portion
of the house was not released.
