RSA No. 1842 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA No. 1842 of 2009 Date of Decision: July 22, 2009 State of Haryana and others ...... Appellants Versus Rattan Singh and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr. Madan Gupta, Senior DAG, Haryana for the appellants. **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Ajay Tewari, J. This appeal has been filed against the concurrent judgments of the Courts below decreeing the suit of the respondents for declaration and injunction on the ground that they had purchased the land in a village auction on 27.3.89 and had deposited the due amount. Learned counsel has proposed the following questions:- i) Whether the judgment and decree passed by the learned courts below is sustainable in the eyes of law? ii) Whether the judgment and decree passed by the learned courts below is contrary to evidence produced on record? Iii) Whether the auction proceedings without confirmation by the Collector complete the same transactions? RSA No. 1842 of 2009 2 iv) Whether the suit of the plaintiff-respondent is properly valued? Questions No. (i) and (ii) are pure questions of fact and on going through the findings of the courts below I have not been able to persuade myself to hold that the findings thereon are either based on no evidence or are based on such a misreading of evidence so as to render them perverse. With regard to question No. (iii), once it is admitted that the respondents paid the due amount and that action was never set aside the mere non-confirmation would not divest the respondents. No arguments have been raised on question No.(iv). Consequently this appeal is dismissed. No costs. Since the main case has been decided, all the pending CMs stand disposed of.
