Civil Writ Petition No. 18146 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -- Civil Writ Petition No. 18146 of 2008 Date of decision: 20.10.2008 Makhan Lal and others ........Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others .......Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice J.S.Khehar Hon'ble Ms Justice Nirmaljit Kaur -.- Present: Mr. B S Chahar, Advocate for the petitioners -.- J.S.Khehar , J. (Oral) Through the instant writ petition, the petitioners have sought a writ in the nature of mandamus, requiring the respondents to reconstruct the demolished/dismantled pucca water course connecting the fields of the petitioners. It is the vehement contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners, that the petitioners have submitted a number of representations, two of such representations have been placed on the record of this case as Annexures P-1 and P-2. Since no action was being taken by the respondents, the petitioners issued a legal notice dated 10.07.2008 (Annexure P-3), requiring the respondents to reconstruct the demolished/dismantled pucca water course connecting their fields. Learned counsel for the petitioners states, that the petitioners would be satisfied, if the instant writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No. 3 i.e. The Divisional Canal Officer (Xen), Bhakara Canal Civil Writ Petition No. 18146 of 2008 2 Circle, Hisar, requiring him to take a final decision on the legal notice dated 10.07.2008 (Annexure P-3). In view of the innocuous prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, we are satisfied, that the instant writ petition deserves to be disposed of with a direction to respondent No. 3, i.e. The Divisional Canal Officer(Xen), Bhakara Canal Circle, Hisar, to take a final decision on the legal notice dated 10.07.2008 (Annexure P-3) by passing a well reasoned speaking order. It would be appreciated if respondent No. 3 passes an order after having the site in question inspected. In case, there is any deficiency in the water course connecting the land of the petitioners from Moga No. 90970 L Balak Minor Beer, Hisar, appropriate action shall be taken thereon, as expeditiously as possible, but definitely within three months from the passing of the order in furtherance of the direction issued hereinabove. It is also expected, that respondent No. 3 shall take a final decision on the legal notice dated 10.07.2008 (Annexure P-3) within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Disposed of accordingly. Order dasti on payment of usual charges. [J.S.Khehar] Judge [Nirmaljit Kaur] Judge October 20, 2008 mohan
