CWP No.19882 of 2001 ( 1 ) In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. Date of decision:03.03.2009. State of Punjab and others ... Petitioners. Vs. Smt.Ved Kumari (deceased) through her legal representatives. ... Respondent Present: Mr.Yatinder Sharma, DAG, Punjab, for the petitioners. Mr.BR Mahajan, Advocate,for the respondent. -- PERMOD KOHLI, J. (Oral): I have head the learned counsel for the parties at length. The State of Punjab has challenged the order of the Lok Adalat dated 18.10.2000 (Annexure P-1) passed in Civil Writ Petition No.4460 of 2000 (Smt.Ved Kumari Vs. State of Punjab and others), whereby the Lok Adalat decided the writ petition without the consent and concurrence of the State-petitioner herein and issue certain directions. Review Petition being RA No.28 of 2001 filed by the State-petitioner has also been dismissed without recording any reasons. The main thrust of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the Lok Adalat was not competent to issue the writ. It could only settle the dispute between the parties with their concurrence and consent. However, the Lok Adalat in utter disregard to the settled legal proposition, issued the writ in favour of respondent No.1. The CWP No.19882 of 2001 ( 2 ) writ has been issued without consent and concurrence of the petitioners herein as if it was acting as a Court exercising jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The order is unsustainable in law. In view of the above, this petition is, accordingly, allowed. The impugned order dated 18.10.2000 (Annexure P-1) passed by the Lok Adalat in CWP No.4460 of 2000 (Ved Kumari Vs. State of Punjab and others) is hereby set aside and quashed. Consequently, the order passed in RA No.28 of 2001 in CWP NO.4460 of 2000 is also set aside as the same has been passed without recording any reasons. In view of the setting aside of the orders aforesaid, Civil Writ Petition No.4460 of 2000 (Smt.Ved Kumari Vs. State of Punjab and others) is ordered to be revived. With the consent of the learned counsel for the parties, the Ciivil Writ Petition No.4460 of 2000 is directed to be listed before this Court for hearing. 03.03.2009 (PERMOD KOHLI) BLS JUDGE
