IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 5521 of 1992 Date of Decision: 28.04.2011 Jangir Singh .... Petitioner Versus Commissioner, Ferozepure Division and another ... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present : Mr. Gaurav Chopra, Advocate for the petitioner 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) By this petition, petitioner has challenged the order of his eviction passed under the Punjab Public Premises and land (Eviction and Rent Recovery) Act, 1973. The brief facts are that the land in dispute measuring 20 kanals 19 marlas was given to the petitioner on lease for a period of 10 years in the year 1963. After the period of lease expired, the application was filed. One of the plea taken by the petitioner was that the petitioner had moved an application for allotment of the land and, therefore, the application for eviction could not proceeded till the petitioner's application was pending. The Collector, Sub-Division, Faridkot in the impugned order held that the petitioner had not produced any evidence with regard to pendency of such an application and proceeded to order his eviction. The appeal having dismissed petitioner is before this Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner has strenuously urged C.W.P. No. 5521 of 1992 2 that during the pendency of application for allotment of land, eviction could not have been made. In my opinion the primary question whether an application for eviction was pending or has not been conclusively established. In any case, the petitioner was leased out the land in the year 1963 for a period of 10 years and now has been in possession for almost half a century. In the circumstances, no further relief can be granted to the petitioner and this petition is, accordingly, dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to press for any application of allotment which he may have made and in case such an application is on the file, the same shall be decided by the concerned authority in accordance with law expeditiously.
