C.W.P. No.19195 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No.19195 of 2011 Date of Decision.13.10.2011 Santokh Singh son of Pritam Singh, resident of village and post office Chak Kalan, Tehsil Nakodar, District Jalandhar .....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab through Principal Secretary, Department of Home Affairs and Justice, Punjab Secretariat, Chandigarh and others .....Respondents Present: Mr. Amrik Singh Kalra, Advocate for the petitioner. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 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's grievance is that he was illegally dispossessed at the instance of 3rd respondent and no action had been taken by the Government against the officials, who are responsible for such illegal dispossession of the petitioner. The petitioner would contend that the respondents No.1 and 2 have indicted the 3rd respondent but they are not taking appropriate action. The writ petition is, therefore, for an appropriate departmental action against the person involved in dispossessing the petitioner. Strangely, the petition does not give any details about nature of civil action that has been taken for his dispossession nor is there even a reference to any police complaint as having been made for the alleged illegal act. There exists no public interest in service matters and it shall not be possible for the Court to C.W.P. No.19195 of 2011 -2- say what should be the measure of punishment after the departmental proceedings. The petitioner wants a relief, which cannot be granted by exercising writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. 2. The writ petition is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE September 13, 2011 Pankaj*
