IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.18942 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision:21.10.2011 Jagir Singh son of Shri Ram Singh, resident of 83-B, Udham Singh Nagar, Ludhiana. ...Petitioner versus Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh, through its Registrar. ....Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN ---- Present: Mr. Sandeep S. Majithia, Advocate, for the petitioner. ---- 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No. 2. To be referred to the reporters or not ? No. 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest ? No. ---- K.Kannan, J. (Oral) 1. The petitioner seeks for a direction to hand over the original sale deed dated 28.08.1990 which the petitioner claims as having been received by this Court on telegraphic message given to the Court in the year 2006. The petitioner would contend that he made an application for return of the document before a Civil Court at Amritsar on 07.03.2011 and he was informed that the document had been sent to the High Court. The petitioner would state that he made an enquiry from the High Court and since he did not obtain any suitable reply, he has chosen to file a writ petition. A writ Civil Writ Petition No.18942 of 2011 (O&M) - 2 - petition for return of the documents is unknown and if the Registry should number any writ petition against a High Court without issuing whether a relief is possible in the manner sought for, it sets a dangerous trend. The Registry shall not entertain any writ petition against the High Court without bringing to the knowledge of the concerned Incharge and if need be brought to the attention of the Registrar (Judicial). A relief for return of documents filed in Court can be secured only in the manner which is contemplated by a procedure laid down under the Civil Code. 2. I have sought for information from the Registry to know that the document has been returned by the Registrar General to the District & Sessions Judge along with communication dated 18.07.2006. The petitioner shall have appropriate remedy by resorting to necessary application under the Civil Procedure Code (CPC). The writ petition is dismissed, but with liberty as aforesaid. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE 21.10.2011 sanjeev
