ORDER Rakesh Kumar Garg, J. (Oral): The grievance of the petitioner in this case is that vide Annexure P-2, the Collector-cum-District Development and Panchayat Officer exercising his powers under Section 7 of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 had restrained the respondents from raising the construction in the property in dispute. The respondents in violation of the aforesaid orders, raised construction and in this regard the petitioner also moved an application to the Station House Officer, Police Station Jandiala Guru on 21.7.2009 and, thus, the respondents are guilty of committing the contempt as defined under the provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record of this petition. COCP No.1426 of 2009 -: 2 :- Admittedly, the petitioner vide Annexure P-4 has moved an application to the appropriate authority to restore the possession of the property in dispute existing on 20.7.2009 by way of demolition of structure wrongly and illegally raised by the respondents after the grant of injunction order dated 20.7.2009 and the aforesaid application is still pending under consideration before the aforesaid authority. In view of the aforesaid fact, I am not inclined to proceed in the present contempt petition as the petitioner has already moved for the effective relief before the competent authority. Dismissed. August 26, 2009. [ Rakesh Kumar Garg ] kadyan Judge
