Residents of Kot village in Faridabad have approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging a revised land consolidation plan issued by the Haryana government. The petition questions the legality of the fresh notification, which was introduced after an earlier scheme was withdrawn due to practical difficulties. Villagers argue that the new plan widens the scope of consolidation by proposing detailed land surveying and re-measurement across most of the village. They fear this could disrupt access to approach roads, affect land ownership rights and create environmental concerns. The High Court has taken note of the plea and will examine the potential impact of the revised consolidation process on land access, livelihoods and safeguards.
Residents of Kot village in Faridabad have filed a petition before the Punjab and Haryana High Court opposing a revised land consolidation plan notified by the Haryana government.

The challenge follows the withdrawal of an earlier consolidation scheme, which the state government had scrapped after acknowledging that certain conditions attached to it were impractical. Soon after, a new notification was issued under the East Punjab Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) Act, restarting the consolidation process with revised parameters.
According to the petitioners, the new plan proposes to undertake kilabandi , a detailed surveying and numbering exercise, across almost the entire village land using a uniform kanal-marla measurement system. They have contended that this would extend consolidation beyond what was previously proposed, potentially resulting in some plots losing access to approach roads and forcing landowners into distress transactions.
The High Court has taken note of the petition and is expected to examine the issues raised, including the impact of the revised consolidation plan on land rights, access infrastructure and environmental safeguards in the village.
