1. Leave granted.
2. It is not in dispute that though an award was passed in
respect of the land belonging to the appellant, the
appellant has not been dispossessed and hence the
appellant is entitled for the protection under Section
24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency JUDGMENT in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act,
2013. In fact, we find that in respect of the same very
acquisition Notification in a situation where the
possession is still retained by the owner, this Court by
Judgment dated 22.01.2015 in C.A.No.7424 of 2013 titled
Karnail Kaur & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab & Ors. reported in
2015 (3) SCC 206 has quashed the Notification, therefore,
this appeal is allowed. Proceedings for acquisition in
respect of the land belonging to the appellant covered by
this appeal stand quashed.
