Hence the present writ petition is dismissed with costs of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) to be deposited with District Legal Service Authority,Hisar within a period of one month from today failing which Member Secretary, District Legal Service Authority, Hisar shall take steps to recover the said costs as arrears of land revenue. 13.03.2015.
