“8. That in the present case, the possession of the land in question was not taken, however, the compensation with respect to the above said land was sent in RD. It is also pertinent to mention here that the present petitioner having full knowledge about the status of the land in question and without taking permission from the competent authority as required under Delhi Land (Restriction of Transfer) Act, 1972 have purchased the lands. Such sale/purchase is void and does not bind the Government in any manner. Since, the petitioner is subsequent purchaser, thus don‟t have any right to seek release of the land in question. In the present writ petition the petitioner is challenging the acquisition proceeding, which was taken in pursuance to the above mentioned notifications and award. Thus the petitioner have no locus to file the present writ petition and seek any relief with respect to the above said khasra numbers. This issue has been settled by the Hon‟ble Supreme Court of India in Meera Sahni & Ors. Vrs. Lt.Governor of Delhi reported in 2008 (9) SCC 177, wherein the Hon‟ble Apex Court categorically held that the petitioners being subsequent purchasers of the land in question do not derive any title to the land and cannot challenge the acquisition proceedings.”
