said Justice U U Lalit, a member of the bench which also comprised Justice P C Ghose.<\/p>\n<p>The apex court had on November 17 agreed to hear the plea of Haryana after the state&#8217;s counsel had mentioned the fresh petition and sought urgent hearing, saying efforts have been made to breach the earlier order asking Punjab to maintain status quo on the land meant for the canal project.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the Punjab government had decided to denotify the land acquired for SYL canal project with immediate effect and return it to its owners free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>The state governmment&#8217;s decision assumed significance as a five-judge constitution bench headed by Justice A R Dave had recently held as &#8220;unconstitutional&#8221; the Punjab Termination of Agreement Act, 2004, which &#8220;unilaterally&#8221; terminated the 1981 water-sharing pact with Haryana.<\/p>\n<p>The apex court had held that Punjab cannot &#8220;unilaterally&#8221;

of land and other property meant for SYL canal.<\/p>\n<p>The order was passed when Haryana government had said the Punjab Assembly had on March 14 passed a bill against construction of SYL canal providing for transfer of proprietary rights back to the land owners free of cost.<\/p>\n<p>Besides Haryana government, lawyer Satbir Hooda, a resident of Rohtak in Haryana who runs an NGO, had also filed a criminal contempt plea against Prakash Singh Badal and Sukhbir Singh Badal, Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab respectively, alleging they have made statements that the apex court verdict in the case will not be allowed to be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>The controversial 1981 water-sharing agreement came into being after Haryana was carved out of Punjab in 1966.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211;
