RA-CW-483-2025 &

RA-CW-475-2025

1. The present review petitions have been filed keeping in view the order dated 06.10.2025 passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Special Leave Petition (Civil) Diary No(s).40590 of 2025 and 44071 of

2025, by which the review petitioners were given liberty to approach this Court for the review of orders dated 27.03.2025 passed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court in CWP-15124-2016 and CWP-8993-2015, vide which the writ petitions were finally decided.

2. The order dated 06.10.2025 passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Special Leave Petition (Civil) Diary No(s).40590 of 2025 is as under:-

“Delay condoned.

We have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners.

Prima facie, we find that the order of remand passed by this Court has not been complied with In such view of the matter, we are inclined to give liberty to the petitioners to file a review before the High Court within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

Liberty is also given to the petitioner to challenge this order in the event of the review petition being dismissed.

The Special Leave Petitions are disposed of in aforesaid terms.

Pending applications(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.”

3. A bare perusal of the above would show that an observation has been made by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India that the order of remand of the writ petitions passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, vide order dated 21.02.2024 has not been complied with by Coordinate Bench of this Court while passing the orders dated 27.03.2025.

4. Keeping in view the said observation, coupled with the argument raised by the learned senior counsel for the review petitioner that no justifiable reason exercised with the State of Haryana so as to acquire the land in question, which argument has not been dealt by the Coordinate Bench while passing the orders dated 27.03.2025, dismissing the writ petitions, are hereby recalled.

5. On the joint request of learned counsel for the parties, the writ petitions are taken up for consideration.

CWP-15124-2016 &

CWP-8993-2015

1. The petitioners have challenged the acquisition of land, where notifications under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, ‘the 1894 Act’) were issued on 26.08.2013 and 21.08.2014, respectively. The land was sought to be acquired for development of Sector 31-Part, Bhiwani. The land is situated in villages Ninaan, Had Bast No.17, Palawas, Had Bast No.12, Tehsil and District Bhiwani.

2. Learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has raised an argument that the acquisition of the land in question measuring 5.28 acres has been done by the Government in the present case without any valid justification. Learned Senior Counsel submits that though, the process envisaged under law so as to acquire the land in question, as has been upheld by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Civil Appeal No. 5947-5948 of 2022, titled as ‘HSIIDC and others vs. Deepak Aggarwal and others’, decided on 28.07.2022 has been followed, but the only grievance of the petitioners is that the acquisition was done without any valid cogent reason and any justification also has not been given
