The said HT line was shifted in the year 2020. A house of the petitioners/co-sharers exists on the released as well as on acquired land of HSIIDC and the said residential structure is creating hindrance on duly carved out Industrial Plot Nos. 781 & 781-A. On the basis of earlier approval of release/exchange proposal and shifting of 66 KV HT line, the Industrial Plot No. 780, Sector-69 was allotted on 04.02.2021. When the allottee started the construction on the allotted plot, Sh. Manikant & other co-sharer raised objection and again submitted three individual consent letters on dated 12.01.2022 that they (petitioners) are ready to offer their released land to HSIIDC on equal give equal take basis and subject to the payment of adequate structure compensation. Further, the field office/HSIDC, Faridabad vide its letter dated 19.01.2023 has submitted a fresh exchange proposal to HSIIDC (HQ) which has been kept pending till the finalization of Common Land Exchange Policy by the State Govt. of Haryana. 11.

HSIIDC/IPD/2013/2488 dated 01.01.2013. 12. I have gone through the facts explained above.

Shashi Kant in his representations dated 18.06.2019, 05.07.2019 & dated 23.07.2019, has nowhere mentioned PUNEET SACHDEVA 2026.07.13 09:37 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh CWP No. 29431 of 2024 4 that he is not agreed to the exchange proposals approved by the Government. In order to implement the said decision, Estate Manager/HSIIDC, Faridabad is hereby directed to issue a fresh LOI to all the petitioners in the present CWP and other co-sharers personally under receipt. As far as exchange of left out land bearing khasra no. 56//16/1 (0K- 10M) as claimed in the representation dated 23.07.2019 & 05.07.2019, since the said land is not part of allotted plot no. 780, Sector-69, IMT Faridabad, therefore, the exchange proposal of this land parcel shall be decided separately on merits after finalization of Common Land Exchange Policy of the State or HSIIDC (as the case may be).” 3. Learned counsel for the respondent has submitted that in fact it is the petitioners, who are not coming forward to comply with the offer of exchange which has been detailed in the said order. 4. None has appeared on behalf of the petitioners to rebut the said aspects. Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of. Liberty is granted to the petitioners to revive the present petition in case any cause survives and also to challenge the order dated 27.01.2025 in accordance with law in case they are aggrieved by the same.
