Petitioner VERSUS Superintending Canal Officer, Bhakra Water Services, Circle No.II, Hisar and others ......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA. Present: Mr.S.R.Hooda, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.D.Khanna, Addl.A.G., Haryana for respondents no.1 to 3. Mr.Mohit Garg, Advocate for respondent no.4. ***** RAJIVE BHALLA.J (Oral) The petitioner prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the order dated 01.10.2008, passed by the Superintending Canal Officer, Bhakra Services Circle No.II, Hisar, dismissing the petitioner's revision as not maintainable. I have heard counsel for the parties and perused the impugned order. The Superintending Canal Officer, dismissed the petition filed by the petitioner, by holding that the revision is not maintainable. A Division Bench of this Court, in CWP No.8653 of 2006 titled as Manphool Singh Versus Superintending Canal Officer and others, decided on 13.11.2006, has held that a revision can be filed before the Superintending Canal Officer. In this view of the matter, the Superintending Canal Officer, apparently committed an error of jurisdiction in dismissing the revision as not maintainable. The writ petition is therefore, allowed, the order dated CWP No.139 of 2009 -2- 01.10.2008 is set aside and the matter is remitted to the Superintending Canal Officer, Bhakra Services Circle No.II, Hisar, for adjudication afresh and in accordance with law. Parties are directed to appear before the Superintending Canal Officer, Bhakra Services Circle No.II, Hisar, on 01.09.2010. 19.07.2010 [RAJIVE BHALLA] shamsher JUDGE
