IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH CWP No. 9793 of 2011 Date of decision October 4 , 2011 Kanwar Jagdish Singh Sawhney ....... Petitioner Versus Union Territory of Chandigarh and others ........ Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Vikram K. Chaudhri, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Rajiv Sharma, Advocate for respondent Nos. 1 to 3. **** K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. Reply on behalf of the respondents is filed in Court. The same is taken on record. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chandigarh has acted on a cancellation report without serving a notice to the complainant to join issues with the report given by the Police and protest to cancellation. The order passed on 12.5.2011 reads “that the notice had been served previously but the same had been returned with the report that the premises were found locked”. I am convinced that the petitioner has not been served properly and having regard to the seriousness of the prejudice convased by the petitioner, I set aside the order and allow the petitioner to file a protest petition before the Magistrate who will consider the same before passing an appropriate order thereon. The same shall be done within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of the order. 3. The writ petition is disposed of. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE October 4, 2011 archana
