Civil Writ Petition No. 1724 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 1724 of 2009 Date of decision : 20.01.2010 Suresh ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana and others ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Rajbir Sehrawat, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Kulvir Narwal, Additional Advocate General, Haryana for the respondent No. 1. Mr. Rajesh Lamba, Advocate for respondents No. 2 & 3. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a writ petition seeking quashing of letter dated 09.01.2009, Annexure P-4 and notification dated 21.10.2008, Annexure P-3 whereby the village Kabirpur District Sonepat has been included in the Municipal Corporation, Sonepat. At the outset learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that he does not press the prayer for quashing of the notification dated 21.10.2008 and, thus, withdraws the same. He, however, has emphasized that letter, Annexure P-4 dated 09.01.2009 seeking accounts/record from the petitioner is misconceived as petitioner is entitled to retain the original record of the Gram Panchayat, he being the Sarpanch. He further submits that the petitioner shall hand-over the photocopies of whatever record in his possession forthwith. Civil Writ Petition No. 1724 of 2009 2 Learned counsel appearing for the State contends that in case photocopies of the record are handed-over by the petitioner, the same shall satisfy the requirement of letter, Annexure P-4 for the present. Learned counsel appearing for respondents No. 2 & 3 makes a statements in similar terms. In view of the above, no cause of action survives in this petition and the same is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. It is, however, made clear that in case respondents are not satisfied with the photocopies of record in possession of the petitioner, they shall be entitled to act as per law.
