O R D E R

% 21.02.2015 We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. We are satisfied that the petitioner in this writ petition was before this Court in the earlier round as also before the Supreme Court, either in its own name or represented through its predecessor-ininterest. As a result, the case of the petitioner 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 26.04.2013 being F.11(17)/91/L&B/LA/1285 under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 is quashed insofar as the petitioner is concerned. As a result, the notification dated 28.04.1995 being Notification No. F.11(17)/91/L&B/LA/6518 issued under Section 4 of the said Act, insofar as the petitioner's lands are concerned, would be regarded as

having lapsed. The writ petition is allowed as above. There shall be no orders as to costs. All applications also stand disposed of. BADAR DURREZ AHMED, J FEBRUARY 21, 2015 SANJEEV SACHDEVA, J SR
