[Civil Appeal No. 2043 of 2011]. We have heard learned counsel for the parties. This appeal by special leave is directed against the judgment dated 01.11.2010 of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh at Shimla in C.W.P. No. 2535 of 2010 whereby the High Court dismissed the writ petition. A notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short, 'the Act') was issued at the instance of the State of Himachal Pradesh- Respondent No. 1 for the purpose of widening of Theog Kotkhai- Hatkoti road (T.K.H.) on 13.06.2008. Being a time bound project, having found that acquisition proceedings might take a long time, the respondents proposed settlement of the compensation on negotiations and acquired the land accordingly.
