Civil Writ Petition No. 10123 of 2007 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 10123 of 2007 Date of decision: 28.03.2011 Rajesh Sharma .....Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana & others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH PRESENT: Mr. Sanjiv Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Ashwani Talwar, Advocate, for respondent No.1. Mr. Ajay Kansal, Advocate, for respondent Nos.2 & 3. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. This order will dispose of writ petition Nos.10123, 7366 and 10076 of 2007. Similar issue came up for hearing before this Court in CWP No.16386 of 2007 (Randhir Singh Verus Housing Board Haryana & others) decided on 16.2.2011, where the relief claimed was the same. The allegations in these cases are that No Due Certificates issued have been cancelled and the directions were thereafter, issued to the petitioners to deposit an amount of `4,90,000/-, 3,55,000/- and 7,09,280/- in CWP Nos.10123, 7366 and 10076 of 2007 respectively. The petitioners in these petitions have sought quashing of the said orders. Their appeals have been Civil Writ Petition No. 10123 of 2007 -2- dismissed and they have impugned the orders through present writ petitions. After considering the rival contentions, it was noticed by the Court that the employees of the Housing Board Karnal connived with certain allottees to issue fake and bogus No Due Certificates. To substantiate this, it was pointed out that the Housing Board used to accept payment through pay order, demand draft and cheques and no cash amount was ever accepted. In all such cases, the allottees have allegedly deposited the outstanding amounts through cash. Once this came to the notice of the Board that officials were chargesheeted and were inflicted with punishment of dismissal and removal from service. Since the issue has already been adjudicated, no case for interference in cancellation of No Due Certificates is made out. The writ petitions are, accordingly, dismissed. However, like other cases, liberty is given to the petitioners to have their remedy to seek compensation for the loss suffered by them from the original allottee from whom they had bought the flat and who had produced fake No Objection Certificates.
