JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Vikas Mehsempuri, Advocate, for the appellants. Ms. Harmanpreet Kaur, Advocate, for respondent Nos. 1 and 2. Mr. Piyush Kant Jain, Addl. AG, Punjab, for respondent No. 3. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against judgment dated 4.2.2009 of the learned Single Judge rendered in C.W.P. No. 1772 of 2009. The appellants were respondents before the learned Single Judge. In his short order learned Single Judge has noticed that the petitioner-respondents did not produce the original registered Will and only a copy could be produced. The mutation was required to be sanctioned in accordance LPA No. 569 of 2009 with the original registered Will. Learned Single Judge in noticing the aforesaid contention raised by the petitioner-respondents has granted one more chance to them to approach the Assistant Collector once again with the original registered Will in case they were in possession of the same. Learned counsel for the appellants has submitted that since February 4, 2009, the original registered Will has not been produced and mutation proceedings have been kept pending for a very long time. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, we are of the considered view that the order dated 4.2.2009, passed by the learned Single Judge does not as such cause any prejudice to the rights of the appellants. However, we accept the prayer to the extent that if the original registered Will is in possession of the petitioner- respondent Nos. 1 and 2, the same be produced before the Assistant Collector within a period of two months from today. If the original registered Will is not produced on or before 14.11.2009 then the Assistant Collector shall finalise the proceedings within 15 days thereafter. The appeal stands disposed of in the above terms. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (JASWANT SINGH) September 14, 2009 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
