IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 22138 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION : 29.11.2011 Sukhbir Singh .... PETITIONER Versus State of Punjab and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PARAMJEET SINGH Present: Mr. K.B. Raheja, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) Petitioner Sukhbir Singh has filed this writ petition for quashing the allotment of 100 square yards plots made in favour of respondents No.8 to 13, who are Harijans. During the course of arguments, it has been stated that these plots were allotted to respondents No.8 to 13 by the Gram Panchayat in the year 2003. The said allotments were made on the recommendation of the committee constituted for selection of the beneficiaries in the year 2001. According to the petitioner, respondents No.8 to 13, to whom the aforesaid plots were allotted, are not eligible. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, we are of the opinion that at a belated stage, the petitioner cannot be permitted to CWP No. 22138 of 2011 -2- challenge the allotment on the disputed questions of facts. Even otherwise, he has an effective remedy under the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961, against illegal allotment of the land by the Gram Panchayat. In view of this fact, we are not inclined to entertain this petition. Dismissed. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE November 29, 2011 ( PARAMJEET SINGH ) ndj JUDGE
