The petitioner seeks a writ of prohibition to restrain the official respondents from dispossessing him from the land measuring 750 sq.yards comprising Khasra No.1348 owned by the Gram Panchayat. He also seeks a direction against demolition of his house and shops. (2). The writ petition is nothing but an abuse of the process of law. I say so for the reason that the father of the petitioner (Gurmail Singh) was ordered to be ejected from this very piece of land vide an order dated 30.10.2007. He filed a declaratory suit under Section 11 of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 which he CWP No.12477 of 2011.doc - 2 – lost upto the Appellate Authority. Gurmail Singh thereafter approached this Court in CWP No.12507 of 2010 which was dismissed on 09.11.2010. Gurmail Singh thereafter preferred LPA No.1117 of 2011 which was also dismissed by a Division Bench of this Court vide a detailed order dated 05.07.2011. (3). The petitioner now claims that in fact a partition had already taken place within the family and the land in question had fallen to his share. The above-stated plea was neither here nor there in the previous round of litigation nor it has any bearing on the question as to whether the land in dispute is owned by the Gram Panchayat or by the proprietors. (4). No case to issue the desired writ is made out. (5). (6). Dismissed. Dasti. 09.08.2011 vishal shonkar (S u r y a K a n t) Judge
