Civil Revision No. 7833 of 2009 -1- *** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.7833 of 2009 Date of decision : 10.3.2010 Nachhattar Singh Petitioner Versus Gram Panchayat Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. J.S.Toor, Advocate for the petitioner S. D. ANAND, J. The petitioner herein filed a suit for the restraint, by means of a permanent injunction, of the respondent-Gram Panchayat (its agents and servants alike) from interfering in former's possession over the land in suit. Alongwith the suit, the petitioner herein also raised a plea for the grant of interim orders to that effect. The plea for the grant of ad-interim direction was negatived by the Trial Court. The view obtained by the Trial Court was affirmed by the learned Ist Appellate Court. It is apparent from the impugned order itself that the land had been leased out by the gram Panchayat throughout and the petitioner herein had taken the possession of the property in connivance with the then Sarpanch of the Panchayat in an illegal manner. The relevant facts were not indicated by the petitioner herein at the trial. The learned Ist Appellate Court held that the land Civil Revision No. 7833 of 2009 -2- *** in suit had been recorded to be under the management and control of the Gram Panchayat which auctions it every year. It also noticed that the petitioner herein (and the plaintiff therein) had not placed on record any documentation to prove that he has any right, title or interest to retain the possession of the land in suit. In revision, this Court would be very reluctant to interfere in the judicial discretion exercised by the learned Trial Court and also the Ist Appellate Court, particularly when nothing perverse or illegal in the manner of exercise thereof has been indicated to this Court. Even on merits, the plaintiff-petitioner herein has no right to apply for the invalidation of the impugned order, particularly when he had not come to the Court with clean hands. The petition shall stand dismissed accordingly. March 10, 2010 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
