CWP No. 1313 of 2006 4.11.2008 Present: Mr. Neel Kamal Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Addl. A.G. and Mr. Vikas Rathore, Dy.A.G. for respondent No.1. Mr. Ramakant Sharma, Advocate for respondents No. 2 to 5, 7 & 8. It is not disputed by the parties that the Additional Director, Consolidation of Holdings, H.P. Shimla has sought the report from the C.O. Headquarters at the time of adjudication of the revision petition. The C.O. Headquarters in fact had submitted the report to the Additional Director, Consolidation of Holdings. However, the report furnished by the C.O. Headquarters escaped the notice of Additional Director, Consolidation of Holdings while passing the impugned order dated 17.5.2006. Once the report has been sought for and the same has been received, it was to be taken into consideration by the Additional Director, Consolidation of Holdings. Accordingly, the impugned order dated 17.5.2006 passed by the Additional Director, Consolidation of Holdings is quashed and set aside. The Additional Director, Consolidation of Holdings, H.P. Shimla is directed to decide the matter afresh after taking into consideration the report of the C.O. Headquarters. The parties are directed to appear before the Additional Director, Consolidation of Holdings, H.P. Shimla on 14.11.2008. In view of the observations made hereinabove, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. November 4, 2008. (cr)
