IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP No. 1263 of 2011. Decided on: 6th April, 2011. Dharmu alias Dharam Chand. …Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. & others. … Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge. For the petitioner : Mr. Ashok Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. J.K. Verma, DAG, for respondents No.1 to 4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The learned counsel for the petitioner, on instruction, submits that if given a period of six months, the petitioner would be in a position to re-locate his residence. Though normally, this Court would not have considered the request for extension of time, in view of the fact that it is a residential accommodation and in view of the steps to be taken for re-location of the residence, it would only be appropriate and in the interest of justice to grant such time. Therefore, we direct that for six months, the petitioner shall not be dis-possessed. However, it is made clear that he shall not make any further alternation/modification/extension. It is further made clear that in case the vacant possession is not surrendered on or before 12th October, 2011, there will 2 be a direction to the respondents to take forcible possession of the property. 2. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 6th April, 2011. (Justice V.K. Ahuja), (tr/vt) Judge.
