-2CWP No.9168 of 2015 initiated but notification under Section 14(1) of the East Punjab Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) Act, 1948, has not been issued and the matter is pending before the Government. Even though the East Punjab Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) Act came into existence in the year 1948, consolidation has not been done in Village Makanpur till date and still old terms i.e. 'bighas' and 'biswas' are being used for the purpose of measurement of land. In almost entire State of Haryana new measurement terms in the shape of 'kanals' and 'marlas' are being used. Perhaps this is the only Village where terms 'bighas' and 'biswas' are being used for the purpose of measurement. In these circumstances, State is directed to issue notification under Section 14(1) of the East Punjab Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) Act, 1948 within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.

Disposed of.
