1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?

2. To be referred to the Reporters or not?

3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J . (Oral) The petitioner has, while invoking Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, made vague and evasive averments with regard to "retention of possession" and "non-receipt of compensation" for his acquired land. At the same time, he relies upon a letter dated 05.08.2014 sent by the District Town Planner to the Senior Town Planner, Hisar Circle, Hisar, recommending the release of land measuring 02 kanal 11 marla where four rooms are stated to have been constructed. It appears that no final decision pursuant to those recommendations has been taken by the Competent Authority.

While it is not expedient for this Court to express any opinion on merits for want of relevant material on record and it is difficult for want Mohinder Kumar Kamboj 2016.08.24 11:55 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

CWP No.16182 of 2016 [2] of sufficient material to infer that a case under Section 24(2) of the 2013 Act is made out, we deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to ascertain the correct facts and decide the representations said to have been made by the petitioner, as per Government Policy, by passing a speaking order within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
