CR No.6952 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.6952 of 2010 (O&M) Decided on : 26-10-2010 Sayeed Yaqoob Hussain Naqvi ....Petitioner VERSUS Punjab Wakf Board ....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr.D.K.Bhatti , Advocate for the petitioner. MAHESH GROVER, J There is no legal infirmity in the impugned order as the amendment sought for by the petitioner has been rightly declined on a ground that earlier when the original written statement was filed, the petitioner had categorically admitted the ownership of the respondent and he had also admitted that his right to stay on the property existed only on the strength of the letter issued by the respondent. By virtue of the amendment, the petitioner now seeks to retract the original stand taken by him to deny the ownership of the respondent and as a consequence thereof, the right to lease out the property to the petitioner or to permit the petitioner to stay on the property as a lessee. Learned Trial Court has rightly appreciated the facts and consequently this Court does not find any infirmity therein. The plea of the petitioner that it has now come to his knowledge that ownership is of CR No.6952 of 2010 (O&M) 2 Central Government is meaningless and cannot be accepted for the simple reason that petitioner according to his own case has been enjoying the property for so many years and thus was expected to know the ownership and in any eventuality the right of the petitioner flows from the authority exercised by the respondent in his favour appointing him as a care-taker in 1997. No ground to interfere. Dismissed. October 26, 2010 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
