Civil Writ Petition No. 10470 of 2007(O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.M.No.8517 of 2010 and Civil Writ Petition No. 10470 of 2007 Date of Order: 30.09.2010 Siri Ram ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ..Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA Present: Mr. G.S.Gandhi,Advocate for the petitioner Mr. D.Khanna, Addl.A.G.,Haryana for the respondents. RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral). C.M.No.8517 of 2010 & Civil Writ Petition No. 10470 of 2007 Prayer in this application is to dispose of the writ petition in accordance with the judgment of this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.9517 of 2008 (R.K.Juneja and others V. State of Haryana and others), decided on 10.11.2008. The petitioner prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the orders dated 01.08.2005 and 23.10.2006, passed by the Chief Settlement Commissioner, Haryana, Chandigarh and the Financial Commissioner, Rehabilitation, Haryana, respectively. Counsel for the petitioner submits that his revision was dismissed by the Financial Commissioner on the ground that the Civil Writ Petition No. 10470 of 2007(O&M) -2- Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as the Act, 1954) has been repealed by the Displaced Persons Claims and Other Laws Repeal Act, 2005. It is argued that as the repeal of the 1954 Act has been held to be prospective by a Division Bench of this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.9517 of 2008 (R.K.Juneja and others V. State of Haryana and others), decided on 10.11.2008, the writ petition may be partly allowed and the Financial Commissioner, Rehabilitation, Haryana, may be directed to decide the revision afresh and in accordance with law. Counsel for the State of Haryana is not in a position to urge to the contrary. The petitioner's revision was dismissed by the Financial Commissioner on 23.10.2006 on account of repeal of the 1954 Act. In view of the judgment in Civil Writ Petition No.9517 of 2008 (R.K.Juneja and others V. State of Haryana and others), decided on 10.11.2008 holding that the repeal of the Act shall operate retrospectively, the writ petition is taken on board, the order dated 23.10.2006, is set aside and the matter is remitted to the Financial Commissioner, to decide the revision afresh and in accordance with law.
