Plea of Discrimination 21.

We have also considered the contention of the petitioners seeking parity with the release of land made by the State. Though at the time

of notice of motion, as noticed hereinabove, only plea raised was with respect to lapsing of acquisition proceedings under Section 24(2) of the Act of 2013, thus, virtually the plea of discrimination was given up, yet we deem it appropriate to deal with the contention in view of the averments made in the petition.

22.

The plea of the petitioner on the ground of discrimination deserves to be rejected firstly on the ground that the petition is highly belated as the acquisition proceedings were concluded way back in the year 2004. If the petitioners were aggrieved of the action of the State, they ought to have approached the Court at the time when cause of action had arisen. They cannot be allowed to reopen the settled claims under the garb of Section 24(2) of the Act of 2013.

23.

We are also in agreement with Mr. Mittal who has brought our attention to the facts and circumstances, considering which the land was released from the acquisition proceedings. As noticed above, the land was released owing to the existing construction on the land in question whereas land of the petitioners as appears from Jamabandi is vacant agriculture land ( /    * !

) ! +  &  ! 

 $ $ *-   ! !+!

!!/ $&/$3)H  24.

Further, the instant plea is liable to be rejected in view of the fact that the petitioners have failed to aver as to how they are similarly situated persons in whose favour land was released. It is trite law that !!4! !+!
