IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 2416 of 2010 Date of decision: 25.05.2011 Karambir Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Patter, Sr. DAG, Haryana, for the State. Mr. Gurvinder Singh, Advocate for Mr. Sidharth Batra, Advocate for respondent No. 3. RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioner had approached this Court to seek direction for the respondents to grant him compensation on account of loss of paddy crops caused by sudden collapse of total crop because of hostile weather condition. It would not be free from doubt whether the writ petition to claim such compensation would be maintainable but without going into this aspect, the stand of the respondents would show that there is no cause for the petitioner to agitate. Reply filed by the Tehsildar would show that on receipt of spot inspection dated 10.12.2008, Sub-Divisional Agriculture Officer, Panipat sought report from Halqua Patwari. The Patwari submitted his report on 07.01.2009 on the basis of entry of khasra girdawari. Khasra girdawari was prepared on the basis of spot inspection Civil Writ Petition No. 2416 of 2010 -2- conducted of kharif crops/season in the month of October, 2008. No crop was found to be spoiled or damaged regarding the agricultural land comprised in various khasra numbers. It is, accordingly, stated that the petitioner is not entitled to any compensation as claimed for. In view of this factual position, no case is made out to interfere in the writ jurisdiction. The petitioner, however, if still has a grievance may approach the civil court where he would get appropriate opportunity to show the damage to his crop because of natural calamity and claim any compensation if it is due in terms of any policy formulated by the Government. The writ petition is dismissed. May 25, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
