O R D E R

% 21.02.2015 We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. We are satisfied that the petitioners in this writ petition were before this Court in the earlier round as also before the Supreme Court, either in their own name or represented through their predecessor-in-interest. As a result, the case of the petitioners is entirely covered by the decision of this Court in Sunil Goel & Ors v. The State & Ors, W.P.(C) No.3049/2013, decided on 29.4.2014, along with other connected matters. Consequently, the declaration dated 20.03.2013 being F.10(29)/96/L&B/LA/19599 under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 is quashed insofar as the petitioners are concerned. As a result, the notification dated 27.10.1999 being Notification No. F.10(29)/96/L&B/LA/11394 issued under Section

4 of the said Act, insofar as the petitioners' lands are concerned, would be regarded as having lapsed. The writ petition is allowed as above. There shall be no orders as to costs. The pending application also stands disposed of. BADAR DURREZ AHMED, J SANJEEV SACHDEVA, J FEBRUARY 21, 2015 SU
