Mr. S.J. Vazifdar, CJ.:- These petitions concern the rights of the parties whose lands have been acquired to the allotment of plots in lieu thereof in addition to the compensation received under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The allotment is to an extent on a preferential basis and has come to be referred to as the ‘oustee quota’.

2. Commencing from the year 1987, policies have been introduced by the State of Haryana governing the rights of the oustees to the allotment of plots under the oustee quota. There are several issues with respect to the rights of the oustees, many of which have been the subject matter of decisions of this Court which have attained finality before the Supreme Court. There are, however, several issues relating to the interpretation of the policies and the applicability as well as the interpretation of the judgments and orders of this Court and of the Supreme Court which require consideration. From time to time we clubbed several of these petitions. Instead of disposing of all the petitions, we choose to restrict this judgment to three petitions which together cover most of the issues that require urgent consideration.
