C.W.P. No.12712 of 1992 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No.12712 of 1992 Date of Decision : 19.05.2011 Chhaju Ram and others …Petitioners Versus The Assistant Collector and others …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI -.- Present: Mr. Sanjay Mittal, Advocate for the petitioners. Ms. Shalini Attri, D.A.G., Haryana. Mr. Manuj Nagrath, Advocate for the respondent No.4. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) By this petition the petitioners have challenged the orders dated 11.09.1991 and 16.05.1992 passed by the authorities under the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 holding that the petitioners as well as the respondent No.4 have encroached upon certain land belonging to the Gram Panchayat and directing them to deposit the compensation therefor. The only argument advanced by learned counsel for the C.W.P. No.12712 of 1992 -2- petitioners is that it is nowhere mentioned in the order that the petitioners would not be liable to ejectment even after paying the compensation. In my opinion, the above said argument is fallacious because once the word ‘compensation’ is used it has to mean that once the petitioners pay the same they would become owner of the land. Accordingly this petition is dismissed with the above observations. ( AJAY TEWARI ) May 19, 2011 JUDGE ashish
