C. R. No. 256 OF 2008. ****** Present : Mr.S.K.Arora, Advocate for the petitioners. ******* Prayer in this revision petition is for quashing of the notice, dated 1.11.2007 (Annexure P-1), issued, under the Punjab Public Premises and Land (Eviction and Rent Recovery) Act, 1973 (herein after referred to as “the Act”). Counsel for the petitioners submits that the Municipal Council, Muktsar filed an application, under Sections 4, 5 and 7 of the Act, for ejectment of petitioner No.1. Vide order, dated 23.4.1986, the application was allowed and petitioner No.1 was ordered to be ejected from the shop in dispute, by the Collector (Deputy Director, Local Government, Ferozepur Division, Ferozepur, exercising the powers of the Collector). Appeal, filed by petitioner No.1, before the Commissioner, Ferozepur Division, Ferozepur, was accepted, vide order dated 14.12.1987, by holding that the Municipal Council had no locus standi to file the application before the Collector. The Municipal Council impugned the order, dated 14.12.1987 before this Court by way of CWP No.10230 of 1988. A Division Bench of this Court dismissed the writ petition, vide order, dated 16.11.1988 by holding that the impugned order, being a remand order, no interference was called for at that stage. A Review Application, filed by the Municipal Council, was also dismissed by this Court on 5.5.1989 but liberty was granted to the respondent to file a fresh writ petition. Consequently, CWP No.5252 of 1990 was filed by the respondent. The writ petition was disposed of with liberty to the respondent to seek adjudication of their title C.R.No.256 of 2008 : 2 : before a civil Court. It is contended that the Municipal Council, without filing a civil suit, to establish its title, in accordance with the liberty granted by this Court, has approached the Collector, who, without examining the matter in detail, has issued the impugned notice to the petitioners. Be that as it may, as proceedings, before the Collector, are at an initial stage, it would not be appropriate for this Court to interfere at this stage. As the petitioners have already filed a reply, raising the aforementioned pleas, the Collector shall, while deciding the matter on merits, take into consideration the facts, noticed herein before. With the aforestated observations, the present revision petition is disposed of. ( RAJIVE BHALLA ) January 17, 2008. JUDGE `kk'
