CR No. 6229 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 6229 of 2008 Decided on : 12-11-2008 Mani Ram ....Petitioner VERSUS Pardeep and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. Sanjay Mittal, Advocate for the petitioner. MAHESH GROVER, J After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered opinion that the revision petition is without any merit and deserves to be dismissed. On 13th September, 2006 final decree was passed pursuant to a preliminary decree which had come into existence in the year 1999. The petitioner had preferred objections before the Court of competent jurisdiction and chose not to appear, as a result of which ex parte proceedings were initiated against him. Thereafter, he filed an appeal against the order dated 13th September, 2006 which has now been dismissed. The only contention that has been raised is that the objections of the petitioner remain undecided. A perusal of the record reveals that the petitioner had not appeared at the time of passing of the final decree. The preliminary decree itself was passed in the year 1999 which was also not challenged by the petitioner. Therefore, it is not open to the petitioner now to question the CR No. 6229 of 2008 2 mode of partition at this stage of the proceedings, specially when the mode of partition has already been prepared and the report of the Tehsildar who was appointed as a Local Commissioner has come on record and the final decree stood satisfied by giving the possession of the properties to the respective share-holders. It is settled principle of law that once the partition is given effect to, it cannot be reopened. Dismissed. November 12 , 2008 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
