C.W.P. No.2172 of 1987 -1- ... IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No.2172 of 1987 Date of Decision : 25.08.2010 Mehnga (since deceased) through L.Rs. ......Petitioners Vs. Joint Director, Panchayats, Punjab, Chandigarh and others ......Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present: Mr. Pritam Singh Baath, Advocate for Mr. Manmohan S. Rakkar, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. S.S. Gill, DAG, Punjab, for respondents No.1 and 2. Mr. Balbir Singh, Advocate, for respondent No.3. *** AJAY TEWARI, J.(Oral) This petition has been filed against the orders dated 22.01.1984 (Annexure P-3) and 27.01.1987 (Annexure P-4), whereby petition filed under Section 11 of the Punjab Village Common Lands Act, 1961, by the petitioner for mandatory injunction restraining the respondent No.3-Gram Panchayat from interfering over the land in dispute, has been rejected. Both the authorities found that right from the jamabandis of 1961-62 to 1977-78, respondent-Gram Panchayat was shown as owner of the land and that during the entire period, there is not even any Khasra Girdawari which reflected the possession of the petitioner. Consequently, it was held that the C.W.P. No.2172 of 1987 -2- ... petitioner had not been able to prove his title. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the land was not shown as Shamlet Deh in the jamabandis. However, it is not disputed that in the column of owner, the land has been shown in the ownership of Panchayat Deh and further described as Gair Mumkin Dher. In any case, it is not disputed that the petitioner has not been able to prove his ownership over the land in dispute. Thus, application under Section 11 could not have been allowed. Consequently, this petition is dismissed. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE 25.08.2010 neetu
