IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA No.3744 of 2007 Decided on : 28.08.2009 Bikkar Singh ... Appellant versus Smt. Mohinder Kaur & others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present : Mr. A.K. Chopra, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Harminder Singh, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. M.S. Khaira, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Dharminder Singh, Advocate for respondents. **** 1.Whether Reporters of local newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2.To be referred to the reporters or not? 3.Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This order shall dispose of RSA Nos.3744, 3745, 3746 & 3747 of 2007 as common questions of facts and law are involved. This appeal has been filed against the concurrent judgments of the Courts below decreeing the suit of the respondents. Learned counsel has raised one preliminary legal argument viz that even though there were as many as 10 issues and the learned Lower Appellate Court has elaborately discussed the contentions of the parties yet while deciding the appeal, findings have been recorded only on one issue viz whether Chhinder Kaur's estate had enlarged into ownership. I find this is deemed so. The learned Lower Appellate Court has noticed as RSA No.3744 of 2007 -2- many as five contentions on behalf of the appellant in paragraphs No.7,8,12, 13 & 15. He likewise recorded the separate contentions of the respondents in paragraphs No.16, 17, 18, 20 & 23. In paragraph No.24, he has recorded his findings on the issue of enlargement of the estate of Chhinder Kaur. In the concluding paragraphs, he has just upheld the findings of the Trial Court on all the remaining issues. In my opinion, it was not open to the learned Lower Appellate Court to comment on diverse findings on diverse issues in such an omnibus manner. Consequently, I set aside the judgement and decree dated 01.08.2007 and remand the matter back to the learned Lower Appellate Court for fresh decision. Registry is directed to transmit the records of the Courts below back to the Lower Appellate Court. Parties are directed through their counsel to appear before the Lower Appellate Court on 27.10.2009. August 28, 2009 (AJAY TEWARI) sonia JUDGE
