IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of Decision : 15.09.2010 COCP No.1808 of 2010 (O&M) Mohidner Singh ...Petitioner Versus Charan Singh ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present : Mr. R.S.Malhotra, Advocate, for the petitioner. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral) The grievance of the petitioner is that the writ petition filed by the respondent against the order of the eviction under the Punjab Public Premises (Eviction & Rent Recovery) Act, 1973 (for short ‘the Act’) was dismissed, but the appropriate authority was directed to consider the request of the petitioner to pay the price of the land in accordance with law. It is contended that though the writ petition was dismissed on 30.01.2001, but the respondent has not offered to pay the price of the land and the appropriate authority is not proceeding to evict the respondent though the eviction order was passed against him. Keeping in view the fact that the respondent has not offered to pay the price of the land within a reasonable time after the order was passed by this Court, the eviction order passed against the respondent became operative. The Estate Officer under the Act is, therefore, bound to evict the respondent, who has been found in unauthorized possession. In view of the above, no further orders are called for in the present petition. The same is accordingly dismissed. However, it shall be open to the petitioner to impress upon the Estate Officer to evict the respondent in accordance with law. 15.09.2010 (HEMANT GUPTA) Vimal JUDGE
