CWP No.16728 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.16728 of 2010 Date of decision:04.10.2010 Municipal Council, Roop Nagar through its Executive Officer ..... Petitioner Versus Financial Commissioner, Revenue, Punjab Civil Secretariat, Chandigarh and others ..... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA Present: Mr. Arjun Partap, Advocate for the petitioner. ***** RAJIVE BHALLA, J.(ORAL) The petitioner prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the orders dated 01.08.2007, 03.11.2008 and 02.02.2010, passed by the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Roop Nagar, (exercising the powers of the Collector, Roop Nagar), the Commissioner (Appeals), Patiala Division, Patiala, and the Financial Commissioner, Revenue, Punjab, Chandigarh, respectively. The petitioner filed an application for correction of the Khasra Girdawari. The Assistant Collector, IInd Grade, Roop Nagar, corrected the entry in its favour. The Collector, reversed this order by holding that though the Municipal Council is recorded as owner, the land in dispute is recorded in the possession of Government College ground/hostel. The Commissioner and the Financial Commissioner, dismissed the appeal and revision filed by the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner submits that as the petitioner is admittedly owner of the land in dispute, the Khasra Girdawari should necessarily reflect possession of the true owner. CWP No.16728 of 2010 -2- I have heard counsel for the petitioner and perused the impugned orders. As the petitioner is not in possession of land in dispute, the grievance against revenue entries has to be raised, by filing a suit in accordance with the provisions of Section 45 of the Punjab Lands Revenue Act, 1887. The petitioner is therefore, relegated to its remedy of filing a suit in accordance with the provisions of Section 45 of the Punjab Lands Revenue Act, 1887. Disposed of with the aforestated liberty. 04.10.2010 [ RAJIVE BHALLA ] shamsher JUDGE
