Amarjit Singh And Another v. State Of Punjab And Others

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT

CHANDIGARH CWP No. 22309 of 2021 Date of Decision:- 08.08.2022 AMARJIT SINGH AND ANOTHER ....Petitioners vs.

STATE OF PUNJAB AND OTHERS ....Respondents *** BEFORE :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUDHIR MITTAL *** Present:- Mr. Vijay Rana, Advocate, for the petitioners.

*** Sudhir Mittal, J. (Oral) The petitioners have been ordered to be evicted from the land in dispute in proceedings initiated under the Punjab Public Premises and Land (Eviction and Rent Recovery) Act, 1973. Appeal has also been dismissed. Admittedly, the land is Jumla Mushtarka Malkan.

Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the District Development and Panchayat Officer ordered eviction after the appellate Court had stayed pronouncement of judgment. This fact has been brought to the notice of the appellate Court but it has failed to take the same into consideration. Thus, the impugned orders deserve to be set aside.

Assuming that the order of the District Development and Panchayat Officer was in violation of a stay order, that by itself does not render it without jurisdiction. The appellate Court has examined the merits of the case and has not found any error in the impugned order. Even learned counsel for the petitioners has not pointed out any error therein.

In view of the above, the writ petition has no merit and is dismissed. August 08, 2022 ( SUDHIR MITTAL) poonam JUDGE Whether Speaking/Reasoned Yes Whether Reportable No POONAM RATHORE 2022.08.09 14:46 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment
