CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & J.H.BHATIA,JJ CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & J.H.BHATIA,JJ CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & J.H.BHATIA,JJ DATE: 2nd December, 2008. DATE: 2nd December, 2008. DATE: 2nd December, 2008. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. The petitoners want quashing of the proceedings pending before the Estate Officer on the ground that he has asked the petitioners to lead evidence first. They claim that they are the rightful tenants and cannot be termed as the unauthorised occupants and as such the respondents should first lead evidence. Such a controversy was before us in an earlier writ petition, being Writ Petition No.643 of 2008 and we held that the proceedings before the Estate Officer cannot be quashed on the ground that he has asked a particular party to lead evidence. If such a course is not permissible, it can always be agitated before the appellate authority if an order of eviction is passed. 2. Therefore, we do not find any merit in this Petition, which is accordingly dismissed. (BILAL NAZKI,J.) (BILAL NAZKI,J.) (BILAL NAZKI,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
