IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.4666 of 2009 Date of decision : 20.12.2011 Sheo Karan and others ....Petitioners Versus Financial Commissioner, Appeals-I, Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr. A.K.Chopra, Sr. Advocate with Mr.Harminder Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr.Ajaib Singh, Addl.Advocate General, Punjab. Mr.Ashok Singla, Advocate ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. On due consideration of the assertions made before this Court prima facie I am of the opinion that the trial court, before whom suit for declaration and permanent injunction has been filed by the petitioners, has decreed the same in favour of the petitioners in the year 2009 and in the suit the private respondents have been restrained from interfering in the possession of the petitioners. This indicates that the petitioners are in possession of the suit property. An appeal against this judgment was preferred by the respondents which has been dismissed for want of prosecution on 26.10.2009. It is stated that now an application for restoration of the appeal is pending for 11.1.2012. C.W.P.No.4666 of 2009 -2- Be that as it may, in view of the findings recorded by the civil court, the petitioners are concededly in possession of the suit property. In any eventuality, this petition is merely for correction of khasra girdawri entries which were wrongly entered in the names of the respondents. A khasra girdawri entry is always reflective of the possession of an individual but not reflective of his status in which capacity he holds the land and occupies the possession. Since the civil court has opined and determined the possession of the petitioners, it would be a natural corollary to assume that the petitioners are in possession and thus the khasra girdawri entries have been wrongly recorded in favour of the respondents. Therefore, the petition is disposed of with an observation that both the parties shall be bound by the findings of the civil court before whom the proceedings regarding declaration and possession are pending insofar as recording of entry in khasra girdawri is concerned. Needless to say, the revenue authorities shall also be bound by the findings of the civil court and they shall act appropriately on them. Learned counsel for the private respondents states that the petitioners are mortgagees and if the amount of mortgage is disclosed, they are ready to redeem that mortgage by making the payment instantaneously. This plea of the respondents, which is disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioners, if raised before the appellate authority or any appropriate forum, shall be considered with the concern that it deserves so as to put an end to the entire litigation. 20.12.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
