IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.15234 of 2009 Date of decision: 14th October, 2009 Rajesh Kumar … Petitioner Versus Municipal Corporation, U.T. Chandigarh and others … Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Ajit Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Petitioner claims that he was inducted as tenant by Pawan Kumar. Pawan Kumar was allotted Booth No.1 at Mauli Jagran Complex, U.T. Chandigarh on 28th August, 2002. He failed to comply with the conditions of the allotment and had not deposited the instalments, therefore, the Booth was resumed. The resumption order has become final. The petitioner had assailed the order of eviction passed by Sub Divisional Magistrate (exercising the powers of Estate Officer) under Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants) Act, 1971, in appeal before the Additional District Judge, Chandigarh. Taking into consideration various factors, the Court came to the conclusion that petitioner has not been able to justify that he was inducted as tenant. Mr. Ajit Singh, appearing for the petitioner, submits that petitioner, as a tenant, was carrying on the business of Chemist in the demised premises. However, he has not been able to produce any license to this effect. He has also not been able to produce any bill of purchase of the medicine. Learned counsel is also not able to allay the apprehension of this Court that the petitioner was inducted as tenant after the order of Civil Writ Petition No.15234 of 2009 resumption was passed. Faced with this situation, Mr.Ajit Singh submits that there is a policy introduced by the Chandigarh Administration to sell the property to the occupant. On this limited aspect, issue notice of motion. Mr. Anupam Gupta, Senior Standing Counsel for Union Territory, Chandigarh, who is present in Court, accepts notice. Petitioner may file an application detailing the broad contours of the policy, under which he is entitled to the ownership/allotment of the demised premises. If such an application/representation is filed, the same shall be decided within three weeks after receipt of certified copy of this order, by passing a speaking order. The application/representation shall be accompanied by the certified copy of this order. Till the application/representation is decided, the petitioner shall not be evicted by adopting coercive methods. With these observations, present writ petition is disposed of.
