JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present: Mr. G.N. Malik, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Mandeep Singh Chahal, Advocate for the respondents Mr. Amarjit Markan, Advocate for the applicant - respondents A.N. JINDAL, J. (ORAL) Learned counsel for the respondent is in full agreement with the counsel for the petitioner that the order dated 2.2.2008 passed by Lok Adult is beyond its jurisdiction. Therefore, the Lok Adalat should not have passed such order. At the same time, the petitioner has moved an application dated 21.7.2008 for recalling the impugned order dated 2.2.2008, in such situations he should not have filed this revision petition at a later stage i.e. on 18.10.2008. It appears that petitioner had applied for recalling the order and on the other hand he has assailed the order by way of filing revision petition after a gap of 8 months. This revision petition being time barred is misconceived and is hereby dismissed with heavy cost of Rs. 10,000/- . However, Presiding Officer, Lok Adalat is directed not to pass such orders in future. C.R. No. 5694 of 2008 2 Copy of the order be sent to the Presiding Officer, Lok Adalat No. 1, Malerkotla as well as Secretary, Legal Services Authority Punjab, Chandigarh.
