1. The sole prayer in the petition read as under: "issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of writ of declaration, declaring the Land Acquisition proceedings initiated in respect of the land of the petitioners situated in the Khasra Nos. mentioned hereinabove at para 4 measuring 14 Bighas ten biswa, forming part of the notification dated 27 June 1996 ( ANN-P-2) situated in the revenue estate of Village Rangpuri @ Malikpur Kohi, Tehsil: Vasant Vihar, New Delhi as deemed to have lapsed on 01 Jan 2014 under S. 24 (2) of the " The Righ to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013".

"

2. From the narration in the petition itself, it is seen that the earlier notification under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 („LAA‟) was quashed and the same stood confirmed up to the Supreme Court.

3. In that view of the matter, the Award which was passed pursuant to such notification under Section 6 would not and in fact did not survive.

4. Learned counsel for the Petitioner states that even under the new notification under Section 6 of the LAA dated 4th July, 2017, the lands in question have not been included.

5. In any event, with there being no Aaward, the question of granting any relief under Section 24 (2) of the 2014 Act does not arise. The petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs.
