Around 46.93 acres of Land was acquired by the respondent- State of Haryana initiating the proceedings by Notification dated 19.09.1983 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The purpose of acquisition is residential and commercial for Panchkula, Sector-21. The acquired property is in Village Fatehpur.
