9. The main contention of the appellant as made in
grounds (j), (l), (m) and (n) is that the suit land has never been
acquired by the DDA. The appellant relied upon the judgments
"Ashwal Vaderaa Vs. Union of India & Ors. 2014 VII AD (Delhi)
182; Raman Grover (Sri) Vs. Union of India & Ors. 2014 AD (Delhi)
409; Ramesh Aggarwal Vs. Union of India & Ors. 211 (2014) DLT
15 (DB) and; Section 24 of the Right to Fair Compensation and
Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and
Resettlement Act, 2013" but in the opinion of the Ld. Trial Court,
the Judgments were not supporting the plaintiff's case. During
the course of arguments also, the main contention of Ld.
Counsel was that in terms of provisions of Land Acquisition Act,
RCA No. 3/15 Page no. 16/19
1894 the land cannot be stated to be acquired by the DDA. Ld.
Trial Court has already given an opinion that the documents on
the basis of which, the appellant is claiming his right over the
suit land have no document in the eyes of law. To my mind also,
when the appellant is not the owner of the suit land, the
provisions of Land Acquisition Act do not apply on him. Clearly,
the appellant could have raised objections on the basis of
provision of Land Acquisition Act, only when he was an owner of
the land or having valid title or interest in the land but in the
present case, he has no such right or title.
