C.R. NO.367 OF 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH DATE OF ORDER: 30.3.2009 Ramesh ....Petitioner(s) Versus Udey Veer and others ....Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. N.D. Achint, Advocate for the petitioner. JASWANT SINGH, J. (ORAL) Petitioner, by filing this revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, has laid challenge to orders dated 20.8.2008 (Annexure P.3) passed by the learned Executing Court whereby his application for restraining the payment of the amount of compensation to respondents No.1 to 15/decree holders was dismissed. The question of disbursement of amount of compensation involved in the instant case relates to the acquisition of land of Chhattar Singh son of Umrao, who was awarded compensation by the Government on account of his land having been acquired. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the entire paper book including the application upon which the impugned order came to be passed, reply thereto and the order impugned herein, I find no merit in this revision petition. In the application it was alleged by the applicants-petitioners that they “have all of a sudden come to know that the above execution petition is pending before this Hon'ble Court for recovery of payment of compensation from the Haryana State/LAC with regard to the agricultural land of Village Kasan C.R. NO.367 OF 2009 2 wherein the ancestors of applicant were coming lawful owners over the land in question as per the previous revenue record”. It was further alleged by the applicants-petitioners that they could not know about the pendency of Land Acquisition Act case or its execution earlier and therefore, could not move an application for impleading them as party in the case. In reply to the said application moved by the applicants-petitioners, it was categoric stand of the respondents-Decree Holders 1 to 10 (Udey Veer and his family members, being the successors in interest-vendees of Sirya father of applicant Ramesh) that at the time of acquisition of the land, the applicants had no right or interest therein as father of the applicants namely Sirya s/o Munshi and Amar Singh sons of Umrao sold their entire share of the acquired land to one Gianwati wife of Udaiveer and Parmod Kumar, Rajesh Kumar and Manoj Kumar sons of Udaiveer decree holder vide registered sale deed no.1515 dated 8.6.1987. It is also borne out from the impugned order that Chatter Singh, who died issueless, was residing with Om Parkash son of Sheo Narain and he was rendering services to said Chatter Singh on account of which Chatter Singh executed and got registered a Will in respect of his moveable and immovable property on 7.7.2003 in favour of Om Parkash. Respondents 11 and 12 are none else than the LRs of Sheo Narain and Chattar Singh deceased sons of Umrao. Thus, on the date of acquisition, the applicant did not have any right, title or interest in the land in question. From the averments made in the application and reply thereto, it is evident that at the time of acquisition of the land in question, the petitioners had no right,title or interest over the same, as a result of which initially they did not bother to participate in the acquisition proceedings but after the compensation had been fixed and Decree Holders moved execution petition, the petitioners, tempted by lure of money, moved the application in question, which was nothing but just an attempt to stake their claim so as to get compensation, to which they are not C.R. NO.367 OF 2009 3 entitled to. Such an attempt has rightly been thwarted by the learned trial Court by dismissing the said application vide impugned order and no fault can be found with the same. For the reasons stated above,finding no merit in this instant revision petition the same is dismissed in limine. No costs. March 30, 2009 ( JASWANT SINGH ) manoj/joshi JUDGE
