The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday ordered a status quo regarding acquisition of land in Gurgaon’s Ullahawas village where there had been allegations of arbitrary release of acquired land by the Haryana government.

The Division Bench comprising Justice Jasbir Singh and Justice Augustine George Masih issued a notice to the Haryana government asking it to respond to a petition filed by Arvind Katewa of Gurgaon Sector 5 and two others who own 63 kanals of land in the village. The petitioners claimed they had applied for change of land use of their land much prior to the June 2009 government notification acquiring 262 acres for the development of Sectors 58 to 63 and 65 to 67.

Terming the notification “illegal, arbitrary and done with malafide”, senior advocate Chetan Mittal, counsel for the petitioners, contented that the request for change of land use of the petitioners was turned down on “frivolous and flimsy” grounds. He pointed out that of the 262 acres acquired in the village, approximately 100 acres have been illegally released to builders. The petitioner has annexed the details of the land so released along with names of the builders.

Mittal said petitioners had agreed to the demolition of their house on the land, but their case was rejected by the authorities who said it was “unauthorised”. But in the same village, the petitioner alleged, various chunks of land have been released on account of houses built on them. He also claimed that the state arbitrarily released shamlat (common) land, which is on 99 years lease to gram panchayat, to one Dr Hansraj Prem Sachdev.

The petitioners alleged that though they had filed three separate objections pointing out to the Land Acquisition Officer that their application for change of land use is pending, only one had been dealt with so far. They claimed that similar cases of builders have already been sent to the District Town Planner (DTP) for decision. “Even the committee which was constituted for the purpose of release of land never noticed all the objections of the petitioners,” Mittal contended.

Taking serious note of the contentions, the Bench has ordered status quo in the village. This means that till further orders, no development or construction by the state or acquisition or release of land will take place.
