WP (C) No. 2434/2025 (CM No. 5622/2025), High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh at Jammu, order dated 03.09.2025 by Justice Sanjay Dhar. Petitioners Parvaiz Khan and another challenged land-acquisition notification No. coll/Def/2019-20/772-76 dated 30.09.2019 issued under Section 4(1) of the J&K Land Acquisition Act covering land measuring 04 marlas and 03 marlas in khasra Nos. 588 min and 588, village Buffliaz, Tehsil Surankote, District Poonch, arguing the Act had been repealed by the J&K Reorganization Act, 2019. Court held the repeal took effect on 31.10.2019, after the notification, so the contention was misconceived; petition disposed of with a direction that the respondents (UT of J&K and ors.) not utilize the land/shop(s) without concluding the acquisition process and paying compensation in accordance with law. Statutes: J&K Land Acquisition Act S.4(1); J&K Reorganization Act, 2019. No precedent cited.
