Jhutharam & Ors vs State Of Rajasthan & Ors on 15 October, 2015
2. It is sought to be submitted by the learned counsel Mr. D.K. Dixit for the petitioners that the petitioners were in possession of the land in question, which was sought to be acquired by the respondent State for the development of Prithviraj Nagar Scheme, and an award was also made on 13/6/1991 in respect of the said acquisition, however the possession thereof was not taken by the respondents, but on the basis of forged documents some wrongdoers had encroached upon the said land on the ground that the said land was allotted to them by the Shankar Bhawan Grah Nirman Sahkari Samiti. He further submitted that the petitioners therefore had filed the criminal and civil cases against the said encroachers, and the concerned Court had directed the parties to maintain the status quo, however the JDA was bent upon regularizing the said plots craved out on the land in question in favour of the encroachers. Relying upon the provisions contained in Section 24 (2) of the Act of 2013, and the decision of this Court in case of Jhutharam & Ors. vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors, in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.2442/2015, he submitted that the petitioners having not been paid compensation nor the possession of the said land having been taken from the petitioner by the respondents for a period of five years after the award was made, the land acquisition proceedings had stood lapsed.
