The petitioners have approached this Court for quashing the
impugned notifications dated 08.06.2007 and 27.02.2008 (Annexures P-2
and P-5), issued under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894
(for brevity ‘the Act) whereby the Government has sought to acquire the
land for public purpose namely for extension of Industrial Growth in village
Rudh, Chirahara, Banipur, Bawal, Tehsil Bawal, District Rewari.
On 25.09.2008, notice of motion was issued to the respondents
Civil Writ Petition No.17061 of 2008 2
and this Court had ordered maintaining of status quo till the next date of
hearing. Thereafter, the matter was taken up for hearing on 22.10.2008.
At the hearing today, learned counsel for respondent No.4 has
stated that the respondents have considered the question of releasing the
land of the writ petitioners from acquisition. He has further stated that the
land belonging to all the petitioners has been fully released except Rect
No.48 Killa No.5 & 6/1.
Learned counsel for the petitioners does not dispute the afore-
mentioned factual position. However, learned counsel for the petitioners
has prayed that the writ petition be disposed of as having been rendered
infructuous with liberty to the petitioners to move an appropriate
representation to respondent No.1, for releasing of their rest land, if it is
possible, in accordance with law.
In view of the above, the present writ petition has been
rendered infructuous and is disposed of as such. However, the petitioners
are at liberty to move an appropriate representation for seeking further
release of their land. The needful shall be done within a period of one
month under Registered A.D. cover. If any such representation is made, the
same shall be considered by respondent No.1 and be disposed of within two
months from the date of receipt of such representation.
