(ORAL) C.W.P.No.794 of 2005, purported to be a Public Interest Litigation, was filed by the petitioner for removal of alleged encroachments over the Government land in and around Panchkula. The said writ petition was disposed of by a Division Bench of this Court vide order dated 11.3.2005 with a direction to the Chief Administrator, HUDA, Panchkula and Deputy Commissioner, Panchkula “to demarcate the subject land, which is stated to have been acquired on 28.3.1977 and take appropriate action for its protection in accordance with law.” It is not in dispute that in deference to the above-stated order, demarcation of the subject land has been made and some persons have been identified who are alleged to have encroached upon the same. It is stated by C.O.C.P. No.1176 of 2005 -2- learned counsel for the petitioner that HUDA Authorities have already issued show cause notice to them on 27.4.2007. In this view of the matter, when the respondents have already taken some effective steps to remove the encroachments, this contempt petition is disposed of with a direction to the Administrator and Estate Officer, HUDA at Panchkula to take appropriate action for removal of the encroachments and complete the ongoing exercise on or before 30.9.2008. However, if the petitioner still finds that some encroachments are yet to be removed, liberty is granted to him to bring this fact in to the notice of the Authorities concerned and thereafter take action as may be available in law.
