Civil Writ Petition No. 10731 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 10731 of 2010 Date of Order: 28.06.2010 Jagsir Singh ....Petitioner Versus Financial Commissioner (Appeals-I), Punjab and others ..Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA Present: Mr.Manish Bansal ,Advocate for the petitioner. RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral). Prayer in this petition is for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the order dated 06.04.2010, passed by the Financial Commissioner (Appeals-1), Punjab, Chandigarh, whereby the orders dated 02.01.2008, 29.07.2008 and 29.07.2009, passed by the Assistant Collector Ist Grade, Talwandi Sabo, the Collector, Bathinda and the Commissioner, Faridkot Division, Faridkot, have been set aside. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the Financial Commissioner had no jurisdiction to set aside the orders passed by the subordinate revenue officers as a question of title is pending adjudication before the High Court in RSA No.2294 of 2003 and RSA No.67 of 2003. The Financial Commissioner should have, therefore, directed that the mutation should be kept in abeyance. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and perused the impugned order and find no reasons to accept the writ petition. Admittedly, the extent of share holdings of the parties has been determined by judgments and decrees passed by Civil Courts. Operation of Civil Writ Petition No. 10731 of 2010 -2- theses judgments and decrees has not been stayed in the second appeals that are pending adjudication before this Court,. The revenue officers were, therefore, bound, in view of their limited jurisdiction to implement the decrees passed by civil courts. The Financial Commissioner rightly set aside the orders passed by the Assistant Collector, the Collector and the Commissioner as being contrary to the declaration of title recorded in the judgments and decrees passed by civil courts. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. It is, however, made clear that in case, the judgments and decrees, passed by civil courts, are reversed/modified in appeal, the petitioner would be entitled to file a fresh application.
