2. To be referred to the Reporters or not?

3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The grievance of the petitioner in the instant writ petition is against non-adjudication of the appeal filed by him under Section 11 (2) of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961, which is pending consideration before respondent No.2 since 19.07.2011. The appeal has been filed in a matter where the petitioner alleges that the Gram Panchayat land, i.e., shamlat deh is unauthorizedly occupied by privaterespondents. The petitioner thus seeks a direction to the Appellate Authority to decide his appeal at the earliest. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought by him, however, without expressing any views on the merits of his claim, we MOHINDER KUMAR 2015.03.03 12:12 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

Ordered accordingly.
