Mr. Mukul Aggarwal, Advocate for respondent No.1. *** 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 ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) This appeal has been filed against concurrent judgments of the Courts below dismissing the suit of the appellant praying that (a) he has become owner of the land in dispute by way of adverse possession, and (b) his possession which is admitted possession be protected against any possible attempt of dis-possession. As regards the first plea, counsel for the appellant is not in a position to deny that the plea of adverse possession cannot be taken by a R.S.A No. 3876 of 2007 (O&M) ::2:: plaintiff. Reference in this regard is made to a judgment of this Court reported as Bhim Singh and others vs. Zile Singh and others, 2006(3) RCR (Civil) 97. In these circumstances, the plea of adverse possession being taken by the plaintiff is rejected. As regards the second plea, counsel for the respondent has very fairly stated that an eviction petition is pending against the appellant under the Haryana Public Premises of Land (Eviction and Rent Recovery) Act, 1972 and that the respondent will not dis-possess him except in due course of law. In view of the statement of counsel for the respondent, this appeal is disposed of. As the main appeal has since been disposed of, all the pending civil miscellaneous applications, if any, also stand disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) January 25, 2010. JUDGE `kk'
