IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. L.P.A. No.1120 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 18.5.2011 Sahara India Commercial Corporation Limited -----Appellant. Vs. The State of Punjab & another -----Respondents. CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present:- Mr. Harminder Singh, Advocate for the appellant. Ms. Madhu Dayal, Addl.A.G., Punjab. Mr. B.S. Mangat, Advocate for respondent No.2/PUDA. --- 1. Whether the reporters of local newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporter or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest or not? ADARSH KUMAR GOEL, ACJ This appeal has been preferred against order of learned Single Judge relegating the appellant to the remedy of statutory appeal under Section 33 of the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 1995 (for short, “the Act”). L.P.A. No.1120 of 2009 Main contention raised on behalf of the appellant is that the appellant calls in question notification dated 20.5.2006 which could not be subject matter of appeal. We find merit in this contention. The notification in question has been issued by the State Government while the scope of statutory appeal under Section 33 of the Act is limited to the orders of competent authority. This being the position, the view taken by learned Single Judge cannot be sustained. Accordingly, we set aside the impugned order and restore the writ petition to its original number. Let the same be listed as per roster. It is made clear that we have not looked into the merits. The appeal is disposed of.
