IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. F.A.O No.4217 of 2009 Date of Decision: 24.08.2009 Shish Ram & another ....Appellants Versus General Public ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Ms. Justice Nirmaljit Kaur Present:- Mr. Sunil Kumar Bhardwaj, Advocate for the appellants. ***** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers 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 ? ** NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. This is an appeal against the Order dated 24-07-2009 passed by District Judge (Family Court), Bhiwani, vide which the application filed by the appellants under Section 8 of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, for permission to alienate the share of the minors, was dismissed. As per the facts, some agriculture land stands in the name of the minors. Their share is upto the extent of 1/18th share in total land measuring 201 kanal 16 marlas. Learned counsel for the appellants, while challenging the said order, stated that they wish to sell the land only to buy another piece of land adjacent to their earlier land which they purchased in the year 2007. It is further stated by learned counsel for the appellants that F.A.O No.4217 of 2009 -2- they have already entered into an Agreement to Sell and the land, which the appellants are intending to purchase, has more potential as well as commercial value. The grounds, as stated by learned counsel for the appellants, are not sufficient to convince the Court that the said land is being sold for the welfare of the children. The purpose to sell the said land, in order to buy another piece of land, which is more commercial, is only an averment and no substantial evidence or proof has been placed on record to show that the land which they intended to buy, is better and in the benefit of the children. In any case, the purpose to sell the present land to buy another piece of land, does not show that the same is in the welfare of the children. No ground to interfere in the Order dated 24-07-2009 passed by District Judge (Family Court), Bhiwani, is made out. The appeal is, accordingly, dismissed. (NIRMALJIT KAUR) 24.08.2009 JUDGE gurpreet
