[Civil Appeal No. 5885 of 2013 arising out of SLP (c) no. 27221 of 2011]. These appeals are directed against order dated 18.3.2011 passed by the Division Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court whereby the writ petitions filed by the appellants for quashing the acquisition of their land were dismissed along with a batch of other petitions. At the outset, we may mention that the impugned order was set aside by this Court in Surinder Singh Brar and others v. Union of India and others (2013) 1 SCC 403 and Notifications dated 26.6.2006, 2.8.2006 and28.2.2007 issued by the Chandigarh Administration under Sections 4(1) and6(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the 1894 Act') for the acquisition of land for Phase-III of Chandigarh Technology Park were quashed. By Notification dated 1.10.2002 issued under Section 4(1) of the 1894 Act, the Chandigarh Administration proposed the acquisition of 71.96 acres land for various purposes including the Chandigarh Technology Park. The appellants filed detailed objections under Section 5A(1) because their land were also included in Notification dated 1.10.2002. After making a show of hearing the objectors, the Land Acquisition Officer, Union Territory, Chandigarh submitted report with the recommendation that the land notified on 1.10.2002 may be acquired.
