In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Civil Revision No. 3774 of 2009 Date of decision: July 10, 2009 Chander Singh and another .. Petitioners Vs. Panchayat Deh .. Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Kul Bhushan Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. A.N. Jindal, J Both the courts below have consistently denied to grant injunction in favour of the petitioners on the ground that they had already lost against Gram Panchayat in the previous litigation as well as the Gram Panchayat is taking possession of the suit land in due process of law. The plaintiffs have claimed ownership over the suit land and sought permanent injunction as they have acquired occupancy rights over the said land owned by the Gram Panchayat and in the alternative they have taken the plea that they are in its adverse possession. Along with the suit an application for grant of injunction was filed. Both the courts below refused to grant injunction. Heard On perusal of the pleadings of the parties as well as order passed by both the courts below, it appears that in the previous instituted suit No.961 of 1997 qua the land comprised in Khatoni No.189, rect. No.25, Killa No.1 (8-0), measuring 16 kanals the present plaintiff/petitioners took the plea that they were tenant under the respondent-Gram Panchayat and their plea of tenancy and acquiring the occupancy rights has been declined Civil Revision No. 3774 of 2009 -2- *** regarding the said 16 kanals of the land and at the same time the Gram Panchayat was restrained from taking possession of the suit land except in due process of law and now the Gram Panchayat is taking possession of the land by filing a petition under Section 7 of the Punjab Village Common Land Act, 1961. The status of the plaintiff is not more than that of unauthorised occupant, therefore, they have no prima facie case for grant of injunction. There is no such material placed on record to form a different opinion than what was observed by both the courts below. As such, finding no merit in the petition the same is dismissed.
