CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 9543 OF 1993 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. DATE OF DECISION: April 04, 2011. Parties Name Nazar Singh (deceased) through his LRs ...PETITIONER VERSUS The State of Punjab and others ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jasbir Singh Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rakesh Kumar Garg PRESENT: None for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (oral) JUDGMENT This writ petition has been filed with a prayer that directions be issued to respondent No. 3, i.e., Additional District Judge, Ferozepur, to release compensation amount lying deposited in that Court. For issuance of notice of motion, reliance was placed on order passed in CWP 9411 of 1993. We have requisitioned the record of that case. On perusal thereof, we feel that the facts of both the cases are similar. That writ petition was disposed of on January 24, 1994. Relevant portion of the order passed in CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 9543 OF 1993 -2- CWP No. 9411 of 1993 reads thus: “Reply has been filed in response to the notice of motion by respondent No. 2, inter alia, broadly admitting the facts, as stated above, but maintaining that the income-tax was required to be deducted. Since this Court has earlier decided the question of deduction of income-tax etc., and the amount is now required to be paid to the claimants, we find that the Additional District Judge, Ferozepur, was not at all justified in asking the claimants to furnish their indemnity bonds before issuing the refund vouchers (payment vouchers). While disposing of these writ petitions, we observe that now the entire amount of compensation which has been held to be payable to the petitioners, be paid to them, leaving the Income-tax authorities to take appropriate steps for recovery of taxes, if any, due promptly.” In view of above, this writ petition is disposed of in terms of the order dated January 24, 1994, passed in CWP No. 9411 of 1993.
