Besides the applicability of Section 24(2) of Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred as Act of 2013), the issue posed before us to answer is as to whether Section 24(2) of Act of 2013 provide an arm or tool to question the legality of proceedings undertaken decades back on any ground including of discrimination; in clear ignorance of the delay and laches on the part of the land owner which otherwise disentitle him/ her to seek the relief being prayed for. 2.
For the purpose of deciding the controversy involved, we deem it appropriate to notice certain elemental facts of the case in hand
CWP No. 9938 of 2016 2 as pleaded before us by the respective parties. Vide the instant petition filed in the year 2016, the petitioners have prayed for issuance of a writ in the nature of Certiorari for quashing the acquisition notifications issued under section 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (hereinafter referred as "Act of 1894") dated 04.01.2002 and 31.12.2002 respectively; followed by the award dated 29.09.2004, thereby acquiring the land for public purpose namely, for the development and utilization of land as Residential, Transport/ Communication situated in the revenue estate of Village Bohar, Hadbast no. 68 and Village Para, Hadbast No. 67, Tehsil and District Rohtak, Sector 4 and 5 under the Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1977 by the Haryana Urban Development Authority.
Besides the petitioners have prayed for setting aside the order dated 14.03.2016 passed by the Zonal Administrator, HUDA -cum- Additional Director Urban Estate Rohtak, in compliance of the order dated 19.03.2015 passed by this Court in CWP no. 19228 of 2014. Additionally, the petitioners have prayed for issuance of a writ in the nature of Mandamus to declare that the acquisition proceedings in question have lapsed qua their land, in view of deeming fiction postulated under section 24(2) of Act of 2013; by claiming that in their case neither the physical possession has been taken nor compensation for the land acquired has either been paid/ tendered to them or deposited in the Reference Court under section 31 of Act of 1894. 3.
The perusal of the factual matrix as stated by the petitioners reveals that by filing the instant petition even though predominantly the plea of lapsing as provided under section 24(2) of Act of 2013 has been
CWP No. 9938 of 2016 3 taken to secure the release of their land from acquisition but besides thereto, they have chosen to take all the pleas including discrimination questioning the legality of acquisition proceedings undertaken decades back.
4.
In view of the above the question arises as to whether by virtue of section 24(2) of Act of 2013, a landowner/ litigant gets a right to seek condonation of delay and virtually set at naught the inaction on his/ her part to invoke the jurisdiction of the Court at the time when the alleged cause of action, if any had actually accrued. Pleadings in the petition 5.
The petitioners have claimed in the petition that they are owner in possession of land measuring 48 Kanals 4 Marlas comprised in Khasra no. 72//14 (7-11), 17/1 (4-0), 15/2 (2-5), 9/2 (6-0), 10 (8-0), 11 (7-11), 12 (7-11) and 13 (7-11) situated within the revenue estate of Village Para, District Rohtak. It has been stated that their land along with the land of other land owners was sought acquired by the State of Haryana by issuance of notification under section 4 of Act of 1894 dated 04.01.2002 as against the issuance of notification under section 4 of Act of 1894, the petitioners claimed to have filed objection under section 5A of Act of 1894 but as stated, the authorities adopted pick and chose policy and released the land of some influential persons so much so the vacant land measuring 53 Acres was released. The land of the petitioners was included in the declaration issued under section 6 of Act of 1894 dated 31.12.2002. It has further been contended that even post issuance of declaration under section 6 of Act, the land of certain
CWP No. 9938 of 2016 4 persons was released and eventually the award under section 11 of Act of 1894 came to be announced on 29.12.2004. The petitioners maintained that feeling aggrieved with acquisition of their land, they approach this Court by filing CWP no. 4951 of 2005 which came to be dismissed vide order dated 14.07.2005. It has further been contended that despite the decision of the State Government to release the land outside the boundary on the map of Sizra Plan, their land was not released and accordingly, they once again the writ jurisdiction of this Court by filing CWP no. 10175 of 2007 assailing the acquisition proceedings inter alia by placing reliance on the State Government order dated 03.11.2006 as regards release of the land from acquisition. The said petition was disposed of by this Court vide order dated 12.07.
2007 by permitting the petitioners to file the representation before the Principal Secretary to Government Haryana, Urban Estates Department within a period of two weeks and by further directing the authorities to consider the claim of the petitioners and decide the same, in the light of State Government order dated 03.11.2006 within a period of 8 weeks.
6.
As a consequence thereto, the petitioners allegedly submitted representation dated 30.07.2007 which came to be decided vide order dated 11.10.2007, thereby rejecting their claim while taking into consideration the order dated 03.11.2006 passed by the State Government, sought to be relied upon by the petitioners, to which the petitioner has claimed to be arbitrary in the present petition. The petitioners once again approached this Hon'ble Court by filing Civil Writ Petition No. 17007 of 2008 seeking quashing of acquisition proceedings
CWP No. 9938 of 2016 5 as well as the speaking order dated 11.07.2007 which was allowed to be withdrawn with the liberty to file fresh one by challenging the averments made in the affidavit filed by the then Financial Commissioner - cum - Principal Secretary Government of Haryana, Department of Urban Estates vide order dated 19.05.2010. The perusal of the pleadings reveals that even though the plea of discrimination has been agitated thereafter including of placing reliance on the proceedings initiated by some other landowner from the same acquisition but nothing is stated as regards the filing of fresh petition in terms of the liberty granted by this Court vide order dated 19.05.2010 in Civil Writ Petition No. 17007 of 2008.
7.
The petitioners further claimed that once again, they filed Civil Writ Petition No. 11547 of 2014 which was dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to file fresh one vide order dated 14.07.2014. Accordingly, they preferred CWP no. 19228 of 2014 thereby laying challenge to the acquisition besides seeking declaration that the acquisition proceedings in question qua their land have lapsed in terms of section 24(2) of Act of 2013 by contending that they are still in physical possession of the land in question and the compensation has not been paid to them. The CWP was disposed of by this Court vide order dated 19.05.2015 by granting them liberty to file a detailed and comprehensive representation within a period of one month from the date of passing of the order and further directing the authorities that in the eventuality of filing of such representation, same will be decided by passing a speaking order and till the said decision status quo was directed to be maintained. Accordingly, the petitioners filed
CWP No. 9938 of 2016 6 representation which was rejected by passing the speaking order dated 14.03.2016 by recording that the possession of the land in question stands taken vide Rapat Roznamcha no. 444 dated 29.12.2004 besides recording that the land in question affect Grid Sub-Station Site, EWS Housing Site, 24 m road and 45 M sector dividing road. It was also noticed that in all, 72% of compensation stands disbursed. 8.
Assailing the said order dated 14.03.2016; the petitioners have chosen to take the plea of discriminatory treatment, contending that the reasoning given by the authorities to reject their claim under section 24(2) of Act of 2013 is unsustainable in law. The reliance was also placed on the RTI information to contend that the compensation for the land in question have not been paid to them. 9.
The writ petition came up for preliminary hearing before this Court on 19.05.2016 whereby taking note of the contentions raised by the petitioners that neither the possession has been taken from them nor the compensation has been offered or deposited before the Reference Court and thus, the acquisition proceedings have lapsed, issued notice of motion and passed the interim order of directing the parties to maintain status quo. This implies that at the time of preliminary hearing the petitioners restricted their grievance only to the aspect as to whether the acquisition proceedings have lapsed under section 24(2) of Act of 2013 or not.
Written Statement filed by the respondents 10.
Pursuant to issuance of notice of motion, short reply dated 16.09.2016 was filed by the Additional Director Urban Estate, Rohtak
CWP No. 9938 of 2016 7 Zone by pleading that the land measuring 48 Kanal 4 Marlas of the petitioners was acquired vide acquisition proceedings in hand which culminated in the form of passing of an award dated 29.12.2004. The possession of the land was taken and handed over to HUDA vide Rapat Roznamcha no. 444 dated 29.12.2004 (Village Para) and Rapat Roznamcha no. 255 dated 29.12.2004 (Village Bohar). It has been contended that said fact was loudly announced by beating the drums on spot ad in the locality of both villages also by the Chowkidar by Sh. Mie Ram of Village Para and Sh. Dayanand of Village Bohar. So far as the compensation is concerned, 72% of the compensation amount of entire awarded land stands disbursed to the landowners and the balance amount was lying deposited with the LAC.
So far as the petitioners are concerned, it has been specifically pleaded that the compensation amount was duly tendered to them but they have not lifted the same. As regards the State Government decision dated 03.11.2006, heavily relied upon by the petitioner to claim differential/ discriminatory treatment, it has been contended that based upon the re-survey conducted, the Government decided to release the land measuring 89.62 acres which includes the land of the petitioners as well measuring 8 Kanals 6 Marla and thus, it is contended that being beneficiary of the said order, it would not lie in the mouth of the petitioners to allege discriminatory treatment.
11.
It has further been contended that the petitioners for the first time challenged the acquisition proceedings before this Court by filing writ petition before this Court which was dismissed as withdrawn as the petitioners' land measuring 8 Kanal 6 Marla was released from
CWP No. 9938 of 2016 8 the acquisition. It has further been contended that the claim filed by the petitioner under section 24(2) of Act of 2013 was duly considered and rejected by passing a well-reasoned order and thus prayer was made for dismissal of writ petition. The perusal of record reveals that even though written statement/ short reply was filed way back on 16.09.2016 but the petitioners chose to not to file any replication and thus, the factual assertions made by the respondents remain unrebutted.
12.
In view of afore stated facts noticed especially claims put forth by the petitioners, following issues require adjudication by this Court:- A. Whether the land acquisition proceedings qua the land in question can be said to have been lapsed or not?
B. Whether the plea of discrimination as raised by the petitioners is tenable or not?
A. Whether the land acquisition proceedings qua the land in question can be said to have been lapsed or not? 13.
Before dealing with the plea of petitioners as regards the lapsing of acquisition proceedings under section 24(2) of Act of 2013, it is necessary to mention that the petition was kept pending awaiting the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in the case of Indore Development Authority v. Manoharlal and others AIR, 2020, SC, 1496, wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India after seeing various interpretations, put at rest the controversy surrounding the
CWP No. 9938 of 2016 9 interpretation of Section 24(2) of Act of 2013. *$3$(16#&5"#$3","#*$ =1.;5$(#&',$3,.1%$.*$,$&(:$69)4 >/
