CWP No.15226 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.15226 of 2010 Date of decision:26.08.2010 Harbans Singh and another ......Petitioners VERSUS State of Punjab through the Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary to Government of Punjab, Revenue Department, Chandigarh and others ......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA. Present: Mr.Arvind Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. ***** RAJIVE BHALLA.J (Oral) The petitioners pray for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the second order dated 13.05.2010 and for restoring the first order dated 13.05.2010, passed by the Assistant Collector, IInd Grade, Nawanshahar, S.B.S.Nagar. Counsel for the petitioners submits that vide order dated 13.05.2010, the Assistant Collector, IInd Grade, Nawanshahar, ordered correction of the Khasra Girdawari w.e.f. Rabi 2009 in favour of the petitioners. Pursuant to this order, the Assistant Collector, IInd Grade, Nawanshahar, directed the Patwari Halka, to implement the order dated 13.05.2010. To the surprise of the petitioners, when they approached the Patwari Halka, the private respondents produced a copy of another order also dated 13.05.2010, passed by respondent no.2, adjourning proceedings sine-die to await the decision of a civil suit. Counsel for the petitioners prays that an inquiry be held with respect to the conduct of the Assistant CWP No.15226 of 2010 -2- Collector, IInd Grade, Nawanshahar. I have heard counsel for the petitioners and am satisfied that the petitioners' remedy against the order adjourning the proceedings sine-die lies in approaching the appellate authority, under the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 (hereinafter referred to as the Act). The grievance against the conduct of the Assistant Collector, IInd Grade, may be addressed by filing an application under Section 11 of the Act, before the Collector, who has administrative control over the Assistant Collector, IInd Grade. The writ petition is disposed of with the aforestated liberty. In case, the petitioners file an application under Section 11 of the Act, before the Collector, it shall be considered and decided within three months. 26.08.2010 [RAJIVE BHALLA] shamsher JUDGE
