VERSUS Financial Commissioner and others ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jasbir Singh Hon'ble Mr. Justice Augustine George Masih PRESENT: Mr. S.D.Sharma, Sr. Adv., with Mr. Anupam Sharma, Advocate, for the appellant. Jasbir Singh, J. (oral) JUDGMENT CM No. 1110 of 2011: This application has been filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act for condonation of delay of 4 days in filing the appeal. Application is accompanied by an affidavit. In view of reasons given in the application, it is allowed and delay in filing the appeal is condoned. LPA No. 412 of 2011: This Letters Patent Appeal has been filed against an order passed by the learned Single Judge on October 13, 2010, dismissing Civil Writ Petition No. 14642 of 2007, filed by the appellant. The dispute herein pertains to the partition of the joint land owned by the appellant and the private respondents. Mode of partition was framed by the Assistant Collector Ist Grade vide order dated August 13, 1999. It has been reproduced by the learned Single Judge in his order under LETTERS PARENT APPEAL NO. 412 OF 2011(O&M) -2- challenge. The appellant went in appeal, which was dismissed. She succeeded in her revision petition when order passed by the Assistant Collector Ist Grade was set aside by the Commissioner on March 5, 2004. Gurdas Singh, respondent, went in revision, which was accepted by the Financial Commissioner vide order dated April 5, 2007. The appellant then filed Civil Writ Petition No. 14642 of 2007, which was dismissed vide the impugned order with some clarification. The net result of all this litigation is that the mode of partition , which was sanctioned by the Assistant Collector Ist Grade, on August 13, 1999, remains intact subject to the observations made by the learned Single Judge. It is contention of counsel for the appellant that a piece of land owned by her falling in Khasra No. 20//14/2 do not have any access/path. We feel that the grievance raised is not justified. In clause 2 of the Mode of partition, this question has specifically been dealt with by the Assistant Collector Ist Grade. The appellant will get access to her land as and when partition is finalised in terms of the mode of partition, referred to above. No case is made out for interference. However, taking note of a fact that the litigation is pending for the last more than 10 years, the Assistant Collector Ist Grade, RupNagar is directed to finalise the same expeditiously preferably within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
