JUSTICE ANUPINDER SINGH GREWAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DEEPAK MANCHANDA Present: Mr. Aman Pal, Advocate for the petitioner. **** ANUPINDER SINGH GREWAL, J. (Oral) Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the total land measuring 15 kanals 18 marlas owned by the petitioner had been acquired by the respondents vide notifications issued in the years 1986, 1990 and 2003. The petitioner was entitled to allotment of a plot measuring 1 kanal in view of his total acquired land but he had been allotted a plot bearing No.3619 in Sector-57, Gurugram measuring 14 marlas only on 12.08.2025. The petitioner is satisfied with the allotment of 14 marlas plot instead of 1 kanal plot but the respondents have neither issued the allotment letter nor handed over the possession to him. The respondents are raising objections to the effect that the land of the petitioner’s brother had also been acquired and he ought to have furnished an affidavit in favour of the petitioner for allotment of the afore-noted plot to him but he has unfortunately expired. Learned counsel, however, submits that the land measuring 15 kanals 18 marlas owned by the petitioner’s brother had also been acquired and the respondents had issued two separate cheques towards compensation to the petitioner and his brother in respect of their acquired land each measuring 15 SANDEEP KUMAR 2025.09.08 16:51 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this order/judgment. CWP No.26604 of 2025 (O&M) --2-- kanals 18 marlas. The action of the respondents in denying the allotment of the plot to the petitioner is unsustainable.
