B. That the learned respondent No.10 have passed the impugned order without jurisdiction and have violated the law laid down by the judgements of the superior courts.
C. That the very order dated 01.02.2017 is based on discrimination, which is illegal, void and not warranted by any provisions of law.
D. That the learned respondent No.10 have failed to follow the law laid down by the superior courts regarding the matter in question as there is no limitation for filing reference U/S 30 of the land Acquisition Act.
E. That it is also worth mentioning that the respondent No.10 was required to refer the reference in question to the referee court for deciding the same on merits.
F. That the learned respondent No.10 has got no jurisdiction to decide the matter of limitation regarding which it is submitted that firstly, in case of reference u/s 30 Land Acquisition Act, there is no limitation for filing reference before the collector, secondly limitation is always a mixed question of law and facts for which recording of evidence is necessary which is the mandate and power of referee court to do so and as the learned Land Acquisition Collector i.e. respondent No.10 has decided the same question by himself vide the impugned order dated 01.02.2017, therefore the same is without jurisdiction and is not sustainable in the eyes of law.
G. That it is also pertinent to note that the petitioners has raised so many intricate objection on the process of acquisition and mode of compensation regarding Khasra numbers 1130, & 1131 total measuring 444 Kanals 08 Marlas acquired by the respondent No.10, for which recording of evidence is necessary.
H. That it is worthy mentioning that as the respondent No.10 is an interested party and the petitioners has also objected his role in acquired to decide the matter in question himself as "one can not sit as a judge in his own cause"
13. That others points will be raised of the time of arguments with the help of case file.
It is, therefore, most humbly prayed that on acceptance of the instant writ petition, the impugned order dated 01.02.2017 passed by L.A.C PHA i.e. respondent No.10 may kindly be set aside and direction may kindly be issued to refer the said reference u/s 30 filed by the petitioners to the referee for deciding the same on merits.
