C.W.P NO. 3221 0F 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P NO. 3221 0F 2008 DECIDED ON : 12.05.2009 Raj Kumar ...Petitioner versus Financial Commissioner and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Ashok Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. G. S. Attariwala, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner seeks quashing of the orders dated 28.04.2003 and 30.07.2007 (Annexures P-9 and P-16) passed by the Collector, Sangrur and the Financial Commissioner Revenue Punjab, respectively, whereby his license as deed writer has been cancelled which has been further affirmed in appeal preferred against the State of Punjab in order dated 29.04.2004 of the Commissioner, Patiala Division, Patiala, who has decided the matter in favour of the petitioner. Notice of motion was issued and in response thereto, the respondents have filed their counter-affidavits. C.W.P NO. 3221 0F 2008 -2- Learned counsel for the parties have been heard and the impugned orders have been perused. It is not disputed that the solitary ground taken against the petitioner is that he had failed to see that the stamp duties were adequately affixed on the three sale deeds subscribed by him (Annexures P-4 to P-6). On this premise, it is alleged that the petitioner failed to comply with Rule 14 (g) of the Punjab Document Writer's Licensing Rules, 1961. A somewhat similar controversy came up for consideration before this Court in C.W.P No. 6638 of 2008 (Surinder Kumar vs. State of Punjab and others) decided on 25.02.2009. For the reasons assigned in the above C.W.P, this writ petition is allowed in the same terms and the impugned orders dated 28.04.2003 and 30.07.2007 (Annexures P-9 and P-16), are set aside.
