This civil writ petition prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari, quashing Order dated 15.2.2006 (Annexure P-4) CWP No.20506 of 2009 [2] passed by the Divisional Commissioner, Patiala, and Order dated 18.8.2009 (Annexure P-5) passed by the Financial Commissioner, Punjab. 2. Since a conceded order is being passed, facts in detail are not required to be given. In short, the controversy has arisen because respondent Nos.2 to 4 purchased land from co-owners of the petitioners. It is the conceded position that vendors sold the land confined to their share. Purchaser of land viz. private respondents got the land partitioned amongst themselves in exclusion of the petitioners. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners and private respondents agree that the petitioners would apply for partition of the entire khata/ khewat while impleading the respondents in the proceedings. 4. This petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to apply for partition while impleading all the co-owners in the khewat, including the private respondents. 5. In the meantime, status-quo regarding possession shall be maintained. 6. So as to avoid multiplicity of litigation and also the fact that parties have been in Court for a considerable time, the authorities are requested to deal with the CWP No.20506 of 2009 [3] proceedings expeditiously. Needless to say that the petitioners and respondents shall not cause any delay in proceedings. (AJAI LAMBA) February 02, 2011 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2.
