JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI, ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present: Mr. S.S. Rangi, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Madhu Dayal, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. Yashpal Singla, Advocate. Mr. Harpal Singh Sirohi, Advocate. Mr. R.S. Malhotra, Advocate. * * * * RANJAN GOGOI, A.C.J. (ORAL) This PIL has been filed to give effect to the orders dated 23.01.2009 (Annexures P3 to P7) passed by the District Development & Panchayat Officer, Ludhiana ordering the eviction of the persons named in the said orders. We have perused the orders in respect of which implementation/execution has been sought. Evidently, there are large CWP No. 15425 of 2009 2 number of persons who are covered by the said orders. The petitioner has impleaded only some of them as respondents No. 8 to 15. On being asked why the others in respect of whom implementation/execution has been sought are not parties to the writ petition no satisfactory answer has been furnished. The above apart, it appears that against the eviction orders dated 23.01.2009 (Annexures P3 to P7) statutory appeals have been filed which are still pending. As appeals against the said orders are yet to be disposed of no direction for implementation/execution of the orders dated 23.01.2009 can be issued by this Court. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, we deem it appropriate to close this PIL with liberty to the petitioner to approach this Court once again at the appropriate time/stage, if so advised. We also make it clear that possession of land which has already been taken pursuant to the impugned orders dated 23.01.2009 by the Gram Panchayat and where no appeal has been filed will not be liable to be returned to the persons from whom possession has been taken.
