LPA No. 470 of 2011 -1- IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH LPA No. 470 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision : 27.7.2011 Surjit Singh Sekhon .......... Appellant Versus Director Land Record Kapurthala, Jalandhar & others ...... Respondents **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present : Mr. S.S. Salar, Advocate for the appellant. **** JASBIR SINGH, J. (ORAL) C.M. Nos. 1270-71 of 2011 For the reasons stated in the applications, miscellaneous applications are allowed. The delay in filing and re-filing the appeal is condoned. LPA No. 470 of 2011 This appeal has been filed against an order dated 22.4.2010, passed by the learned Single Judge, dismissing CWP No. 4108 of 2007, filed by the appellant. It is admitted fact that the consolidation proceedings in the village took place more than five decades ago. The access passage upto the land of the appellant was provided as per the consolidation scheme. After more than 50 years the appellant had LPA No. 470 of 2011 -2- moved an application under Section 42 of the East Punjab Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) Act, 1948, which was dismissed by the Director Land Records, Punjab on 6.12.2006, on account of delay in filing of that application. Learned Single Judge also took note of the same and dismissed the writ petition by stating that the application was not filed within a reasonable time. We feel that the order passed is perfectly justified. Otherwise also the learned counsel for the appellant has failed to show as to what loss is going to be caused to the appellant in case his prayer is not allowed, as made in this case. Dismissed.
