LPA No. 1044 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH LPA No. 1044 of 2010 Date of decision:- 23.09.2010 The State of Punjab through the Secretary to Government Punjab, Department of Education, Chandigarh and another. ......Appellants Vs Balbir Singh, PTI, GHS, Bara Pind (Jalandhar) and others. ......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: - Mr. Ashok Bhardwaj, Additional AG, Punjab, for the appellants. * * * * RANJAN GOGOI, J (ORAL) Heard. Learned Counsel for the appellants has submitted that there were certain subsequent developments including enactment of certain legislations which were required to be placed before the learned Single Judge hearing the writ petition. However, the same could not be so placed due to inadvertence. Accordingly, it is submitted that the appellants should be allowed to amend the appeal and bring the subsequent events and legislations on record. We have considered the submission advanced by the learned Counsel for the appellants. If subsequent events including the relevant legislations LPA No. 1044 of 2010 2 could not be placed before the learned Single Judge, in fitness of things, the appellants should have filed a review petition to bring the same on record so that the learned Single Judge hearing the writ petition can have the benefit of the said events and the legislations enacted. To permit the appellants to do so at the appellate stage may not be appropriate as the same may amount to consideration of issues by the Appellate Court which were beyond the purview of the issues arising before the learned Single Judge. We, therefore, are of the view that instead of entertaining this LPA, it would be more appropriate for the appellants to file a review petition, if so advised. We, therefore, dispose of the LPA in the above terms granting liberty to the appellants to move the learned Single Judge by way of a review petition.
