IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.2233 of 2009 Date of decision: February 19, 2009. Gram Panchayat of Village Tarsikka ...Petitioner(s) v. State of Punjab & Ors. ...Respondent(s) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Shri Ajay Pal Singh Gill, Advocate for the petitioner. ORDER Surya Kant, J. - (Oral): Notice of motion. Shri G.S. Attariwala, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to call upon the respondents to file any counter affidavit. The Gram Panchayat of Village Tarsikka is aggrieved at the site selected by the respondents for construction of the Sub-Tehsil at Tarsikka. The Gram Panchayat's case is that vide Resolutions dated 28.3.2007 and 20.8.2008 (Annexure P-1 & P-2), it has offered a piece of land owned by the Gram Panchayat for construction of the Sub-Tehsil. The site proposed by the Gram Panchayat is very close to the village abadi and is easily accessible to the residents of the area. Ignoring the land offered by the Gram Panchayat, it is averred, that the Govt. has started constructing the Sub-Tehsil office at a far away place on a piece of land owned by the Panchayat Samiti. The petitioner-Gram Panchayat has also placed on record a resolution purported to have been passed by the Panchayat Samiti, opposing the construction of the Sub-Tehsil on its land. During the course of hearing, Learned Counsel for the Petitioner has referred to a site plan in order to show that the site where the construction has been started and/or is proposed to start, is far away from the village and would cause lot of inconvenience to the public. Having heard Learned Counsel for the parties and keeping in view the limited scope of interference by a writ court in such like matters, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Deputy Commissioner, Amritsar to personally visit both the sites within one week from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order and objectively consider as to which out of the two sites would be more convenient and suitable to the public at large and take an appropriate final decision regarding the site of the new Sub-Tehsil at Tarsikka.
