JUDGMENT Mr. Surya Kant, J.:- Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions and legible copy of Annexure P-5 is taken on record. CWP-21594-2017 The land of the petitioners comprising khasra Nos.938, 940 and 941 situated at Taraf Insar Hal Abadi Sant Nagar, Tehsil and District Panipat, was acquired by State of Haryana vide Notifications dated 10.05.1989 and 09.05.1990 issued under Sections 4&6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 respectively. The land was acquired for the public purpose of development of residential and commercial area for Sector 6, 7 and 8, Urban Estate, Panipat by Haryana Urban Development Authority. 2. The petitioners through the instant writ petition claim that the above-stated acquisition has lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (for brevity,’the 2013 Act’) as possession of the acquired land is still with them. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioners at a considerable length and gone through the record. It is an admitted fact that the petitioners have already received compensation for the acquired land. As regard to the physical possession, the petitioners rely upon the photographs, Annexure P-8, where the acquired land is seen lying vacant, unutilised and is being used as a ‘dumping ground’ by the residents of neighbourhood. There is nothing on record to suggest that the petitioners are in physical control of the acquired land or that they have ever used the land for any purpose. In this view of the matter, we are satisfied that the petitioners have failed to satisfy the ingredients of Section 24(2) of the 2013 Act to claim that the impugned acquisition has lapsed. 4. Dismissed.
