'''KALKA-PINJORE PROJECT. WILL HILL VIEW ENCLAVE IN VILLAGES ISLAM NAGAR AND NAGGAL SODIAN BE SAVED?'''

Traditionally the State safeguards citizen's property all over the World. But an archaic and colonial legislation, more than a Century old, in India, is being used to forcibly evict the land owners, not rich or influential , but mostly poor farmers and soldiers. And, the Political Leaders do not even murmur in their support as their interests are not at stake.

The Land Acquisition in India is like Sati Pratha, Thuggy of yore, sanctioned by the rulers. It has enriched the officers of Urban Development Authorities and Real Estate Wheeler- Dealers and above all the Politicians who use the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 on behalf of the State at the time of their choosing.

Most of the the leaders have allegedly become rich therefrom. The Real Estate dealers have become magnates.There are no fences of Law. Who will see the suffering of the land losers when the Judicial system itself is depicted as blind folded. Gods of Justice hear only in the precincts of Court and only through the voice of the Advocates?

Who will listen to the foul- play- cries of the ex servicemen and serving soldiers who owned plots in the Hill View Enclave, Pinjore, Haryana, India?

Who will intervene in getting restored the residential plots of the ex servicemen and retired civil servants when there is might of the State determined to return not even an inch of Land which has already been acquired after deals and deals? In Kalka- Pinjore Project, well before the acquisition process of the land began the Real Estate Magnates were reportedly sending feelers to the officers of the Urban Development Authorities in Haryana. In March 2007 there was news of the type http://realestatechandigarh.blogspot.in/2007/03/dlf-reliance-eye-pinjore-for.html.

After all was settled for the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), an autonomous body created by the Haryana State raised demand of Land for developing residential Sectors 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Pinjore not in new uninhabited areas but those areas where the prices had escalated and there was sizable habitation.

On the face of it the Notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 was then issued. There were no negotiations with the representatives of the local population nor the need was felt to take permission while trespassing the boundary walled parcels of Land.

The Land Acquisition Officer who was required to submit Report after survey recommended that the plots falling in the area of Hill View Enclave must not be acquired. His assessment was from ground reality as most of the parcels of Land in the Lay out of the Hill View Enclave belonged to those who were serving at the Borders of the Country and in the remote corners of India. But HUDA, that had set eyes to some how get the land for selling it at profits and for passing it over was not pleased.

Surprisingly just one month before the expiry of one year of the Notification under Section 4 issued on 26 September 2007 a Joint inspection Team with the Administrator of HUDA, Haryana Urban Development Authority, as its with the Land Acquisition Officer as the Member submitted a Report that even the parcels of Land in the periphery of Hill View Enclave be acquired. Could there have been any Report stating that such and such areas be not acquired? No. Once the HUDA Chief was the Head of the Team there would have been no Report sparing from acquisition what HUDA wanted to acquire!

The Land was acquired without the service of individual Notices as even mandated under Section 9 (4) of the Land Acquisiition Act. There was no one guard the parcels of Land belonging to the Servicemen toiling at the Borders of the Country. No Deputy Commissioner to check the names of the land holders. All possible tricks enabling effortless acquisition were played. All the provisions of the Act which provided an opportunity of hearing to the Land losers were avoided.

Even today, in India , the British Rulers , are known for their sense of Justice and fair play. If they would have been still ruling India, the country would have been a better democracy than what it is. In India the reigns of political powers have been seized by those who have no concern for the poor farmers and the soldiers.

The Secretary of Hill View Enclave approached the High Court of Punjab and Haryana. But the Court was effectively misled by the HUDA officials and the officials of the State. The High Court in its Judgement erroneously observed that the Hill View Cooperative Housing Society had purchased the Land in 1982-1984. Hill View Enclave had never ever purchased any Land. Nor the Society ever owned the Land.

Any one can apply for being given the name of  its choosing   in the office of Registrar Kalka registered the sale purchase revenue deeds as the plots of the Hill View Enclave. Was it so because Ravindra Kaur was a relation of one Nagpal who was the SDM at Kalka? Whatever may the case be it is clear that the State of Haryana had directly recognized that the plots being sold and purchased were in an area/ colony called Hill View Enclave. The state can not turn around after more than one and a half decade to declare that Hill View Enclave was an irregular colony.

One Ms Ravindra Kaur who had a plot in the Hill View Enclave had collected development charges from all those who had purchased the plots but that does not make her or the Hill View Cooperative House Building Society registered by the said Ravindra Kaur in 1983 as the owner of the land.

Thus neither the Hill View Society nor Ms Ravindra Kaur was ever the owner of the tracts of almost 10 acres of Land. Who would have applied for the grant of a License?

The Municipal Corporation of Pinjore, the Panchayats of Islam Nagar and Naggal Sodian knew it as much did the Haryana Housing Board that the entire area called the Hill View Enclave was a conglomerate of individually owned 77 plots out of which 49 belong to the ex servicemen. The ex servicemen in India have no voice. They are no one's baby.

The Chief Minister of Haryana, a product of Sainik School , is unable to see the problem of forcible eviction of the ex servicemen and others who were serving in the Armed Forces and such personnel are bereft of such opportunities and have become losers. They have not earned through out their entire service what they have lost in the loss of their plots.

Out of 77 plots 17 have been spared from acquisition as its owners were available there to file objections. It is said the State of Haryana is giving compensation instead of providing alternate plots. In the Compensation, as one oustee remarked one can not buy even a few yards for the burials.
