Partap Singh And Others vs State Of Haryana And Others on 3 December, 2008<\/div>\n
CWP No. 1687 of 2008                  1\n\n           IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT\n                        CHANDIGARH.\n\n                          C.W.P.No. 1687 of 2008\n                          Date of decision 3 .12.2008\n\n\nPartap Singh and others                                  ...Petitioners\n\n                          Versus\n\nState of Haryana and others                                 ...

JUSTICE JORA SINGH\n\nPresent:     Mr. Pankaj Jain, Advocate for the petitioner.\n             Mr. Ashish Kapoor, Addl.

To be referred to the Reporter or not ?\n3. Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ?\n\nM.M.KUMAR, J.\n<\/pre>\n
             The short question raised in the instant petition filed under<\/p>\n
Article 226 of the Constitution is whether the last date of publication of<\/p>\n
notice under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for brevity ‘the<\/p>\n
Act’) would be the relevant date for issuance of notification under Section 6<\/p>\n
of the Act when the provisions of Section 17(2)(c) read with Section 17(4)<\/p>\n
of the Act on account of urgency have been invoked. The afore-mentioned<\/p>\n
question has been raised by challenging notification dated 3.1.2008 issued<\/p>\n
under Section 4 read with Section 17 of the Act and declaration dated<\/p>\n
4.1.2008 made under Section 6 read with Section 17 of the Act ( Annexures<\/p>\n
P.2 and P.3 respectively). The principal ground of challenge is that since the<\/p>\n
substance of notification issued under Section 4 of the Act was published in<\/p>\n
the locality on 24.1.2008 then no declaration could have been issued under
\n CWP No. 1687 of 2008                    2<\/span><\/p>\n
Section 6 read with Section 17 of the Act before that date. It has been<\/p>\n
submitted that the declaration having been issued on 4.1.2008 ( Annexure<\/p>\n
P.3) suffer from legal infirmity and is thus liable to be set aside.<\/p>\n
             Mr. Pankaj Jain, learned counsel for the petitioner has argued<\/p>\n
that a bare perusal of Section 4 of the Act would show that the last date of<\/p>\n
publication giving substance of the notification has to be considered as the<\/p>\n
date of notice published under Section 4 of the Act. According to the<\/p>\n
learned counsel the date of notification in the present case must be regarded<\/p>\n
according to the afore-mentioned provision to be 24.1.2008 and therefore no<\/p>\n
declaration under Section 6 read with Section 17 of the Act could have been<\/p>\n
made on 4.1.2008. He has highlighted that a declaration under Section 6<\/p>\n
read with Section 4 of the Act has been made one day after the notification<\/p>\n
under Section 6 of the Act has been issued whereas the last publication of<\/p>\n
the substance of the notification in the locality was made on 24.1.2008. In<\/p>\n
support of his submission, learned counsel has placed reliance on a<\/p>\n
judgement of the Hon’ble supreme Court in the case of State of U.P. v.<\/p>\n
Radhey Shyam Nigam and others AIR<\/a> 1989 SC 682. Placing reliance on the<\/p>\n
observations made in para 14 of the judgement, learned counsel has<\/p>\n
submitted that the notification under Section 6 read with Section 17 of the<\/p>\n
Act issued on 4.1.2008 stands vitiated.\n<\/p>\n
             Mr. Ashish Kapoor, learned State counsel, however has placed<\/p>\n
reliance on the observations made by Hon’ble the Supreme Court in the case<\/p>\n
of Mohan Singh and others v. International Airport Authority<\/a> (1997)9 SCC<\/p>\n
132. Learned counsel has drawn our attention to the observations made in<\/p>\n
para no.13 and has argued that various steps contemplated by Section 4(1)<\/p>\n
of the Act would not be necessary for exercise of powers under Section 17
\n CWP No. 1687 of 2008                   3<\/span><\/p>\n
(2) of the Act. The observation only requires that there has to be at least a<\/p>\n
day’s difference between publication of notification under Section 4(1) and<\/p>\n
declaration made under Section 6 of the Act.\n<\/p>\n
             Having heard the learned counsel and perusing the paper book<\/p>\n
with their able assistance we are of the view that this petition is liable to be<\/p>\n
dismissed. It is true that numerous steps are postulated by Section 4 of the<\/p>\n
Act before issuance of declaration under Section 6 of the Act. Section 4 of<\/p>\n
the Act in terms require the publication of notice in the newspaper and in<\/p>\n
the absence of invoking the urgency provision the usual procedure as<\/p>\n
contended by the learned counsel has to follow. However, when urgency<\/p>\n
provisions postulated by Section 17(2) and Section 17(4) of the Act have<\/p>\n
been invoked then the publication of notification in two local newspapers<\/p>\n
and giving notice of the substance at three convenient places in the locality<\/p>\n
is not mandatory. The question came up for consideration before Hon’ble<\/p>\n
the Supreme Court in Radhey Shyam’s case (supra) and interpreting Section<\/p>\n
17(4) of the Act it was held that declaration under Section 6 of the Act has<\/p>\n
to be made after publication of the notification subsequently. In other<\/p>\n
words, when urgency provision has been invoked then declaration under<\/p>\n
Section 6 of the Act has to be made subsequently which means that it could<\/p>\n
be even a day later. Similar controversy was raised before the Hon’ble<\/p>\n
Supreme Court in Mohan Singh’s case (supra) on which reliance has been<\/p>\n
rightly placed by the learned State counsel. In para 13 of the judgement the<\/p>\n
precise question has been dealt with and it has been held that various other<\/p>\n
steps postulated by Section 4 of the Act regarding publication of the<\/p>\n
substance of notification in the locality is not mandatory and only a gap of<\/p>\n
atleast a day between the publication of notification under Section 4(1) of
\n CWP No. 1687 of 2008                     4<\/span><\/p>\n
the Act and declaration under Section 6(1) of the Act would be sufficient<\/p>\n
compliance. Para 13 of the judgement which answers the question against<\/p>\n
the petitioner reads thus:\n<\/p>\n
             “13. The question is: whether it is mandatory in such a<\/p>\n
             situation, i.e., after the publication of the notification in the<\/p>\n
             Gazette publication in two local newspapers and giving of<\/p>\n
             notice of the substance of the notification at convenient places<\/p>\n
             in the locality, to await the exercise of power under Section 17<\/p>\n
             (4)? After giving due and deep consideration to the respective<\/p>\n
             contentions raised by the learned counsel, we are of the<\/p>\n
             considered view that though the compliance of these three steps<\/p>\n
             required under Section 4(1) is mandatory for the exercise of the<\/p>\n
             power under Section 17(4), it is not necessary that all the three<\/p>\n
             steps should be completed before making the declaration under<\/p>\n
             Section 6(1) and have it published for directing the Collector to<\/p>\n
             take possession under Section 17(1) or 17(2). What is needed<\/p>\n
             is that there should be a gap of time of at least a day<\/p>\n
             between the publication of the notification under Section 4<\/p>\n
             (1) and of the declaration under Section 6(1). Herein, we<\/p>\n
             dispose of the controversy and agree with Shri Shanti<\/p>\n
             Bhushan that the date of the notification and declaration<\/p>\n
             published as mentioned in the Gazette is conclusive but not<\/p>\n
             the   actual    date   of       printing   of   the   Gazette.   This<\/p>\n
             interpretation of ours would serve the public purpose,<\/p>\n
             namely, the official functions are duly discharged. When the<\/p>\n
             land is urgently needed under Section 17(1), notice under
\n CWP No. 1687 of 2008                5<\/span><\/p>\n
            Section 9(1) would be given to the owner steps would be<\/p>\n
            taken to and resume its possession after the expiry of 15<\/p>\n
            days. If it is needed urgently under Section 17(2), even<\/p>\n
            without waiting for 15 days on issue of notice under Section<\/p>\n
            9(1) to the owner, the appropriate Government would<\/p>\n
            direct the Collector to take possession of the land<\/p>\n
            immediately. If the publication in the newspapers and in the<\/p>\n
            locality is also insisted upon as preliminary to the exercise<\/p>\n
            of power under Section 17(4) which are mandatory<\/p>\n
            requirements and until last of them occurs, the immediate<\/p>\n
            or urgent necessity to take possession of the land under<\/p>\n
            Section 17(1) or 17(2) before making the award would be<\/p>\n
            easily defeated by dereliction of duty by the subordinate<\/p>\n
            officers or by skillful manoeuvre. The appropriate<\/p>\n
            Government is required to take the decision for acquisition<\/p>\n
            of the land and to consider the urgency or emergency and to<\/p>\n
            make the notification under Section 4(1) and declaration<\/p>\n
            under Section 6 and have them published in the Gazette<\/p>\n
            that the land acquired under Section 4(1) is needed for<\/p>\n
            public purpose; they become conclusive under Section 6;<\/p>\n
            and to give direction to the Collector to take its possession.<\/p>\n
            The publication in the newspapers and giving of notice of<\/p>\n
            the substance of the notification at the convenient places in<\/p>\n
            the locality are required to be done by the Collector<\/p>\n
            authorised by the Government under Section 7 and his<\/p>\n
            subordinate staff. If dereliction of duty is given primacy,
\n CWP No. 1687 of 2008                  6<\/span><\/p>\n
             delay deflects public justice to meet urgent situation by the<\/p>\n
             acts of subordinate officers for any reason whatsoever.<\/p>\n
             Until that is done and the last of the dates occurs,<\/p>\n
             Government would be unable to act swiftly for the public<\/p>\n
             purpose to take immediate possession envisaged under sub-<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             section (1) or (2) of Section 17 and they would be easily<\/p>\n
             defeated or frustrated.” (emphasis added)<\/p>\n
      It is thus obvious that publication of notification under Section 4 in<\/p>\n
the newspapers or publication of its substance in the locality is not<\/p>\n
mandatory and it is merely directory. Such being the position of law we find<\/p>\n
no merit in the submission made by the counsel for the petitioner and the<\/p>\n
question posed in the first para of the judgement is required to be decided<\/p>\n
against the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is liable to be<\/p>\n
dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
             For the reasons afore-mentioned this petition fails and the same<\/p>\n
is dismissed.<\/p>\n
