Hari Chand and another .....Petitioners versus The State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Surinder Mohan Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.H.S.Brar, Additional AG, Punjab, for respondent Nos.1&2. Mr.Anil K. Sharma, Addl.AG, Punjab for respondent Nos.3&4. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. On the asking of the Court, Mr.Anil Kumar Sharma, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of respondent Nos.3 & 4 and Mr.H.S.Brar, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of respondent Nos.1 & 2. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to issue notice to respondent Nos.5 to 8 nor there is any need to seek counter-reply from respondent Nos.1 to 4 at this stage. The grievance of the petitioners is that the private respondents are allegedly constructing a temple of Sai Baba on the municipal land C.W.P.No .17969 of 2010 2 without there being any valid allotment and/or getting the building plans sanctioned/approved. It is averred that the construction of the said temple is being raised totally in violation of the Punjab Municipal Act, 1911. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, however, without expressing any views on the allegations made, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Deputy Commissioner, Kapurthala and the Municipal Council, Sultanpur Lodhi, to take notice of the allegations made by the petitioners and swing into action strictly in accordance with law, if so required. The needful shall be done within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. October 08, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
