IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.13062 of 2011 Jaswinder Singh & another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers 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? Present: Mr.R.S.Randhawa, Advocate, for Mr.Chanchal K. Singla, Advocate, for the petitioners. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioners have filed this writ petition to impugn the order passed by the Collector under Section 10-A of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 cancelling the auction of the panchayat land in favour of the petitioners. Auction of this land was fixed on 12.5.2011 and would not be carried out because no body participated in the same. Suddenly, on one day this land was auctioned in favour of the petitioners, which has now been cancelled. The Collector has clearly noticed that this auction was done in connivance with respondent Nos.2 to 9 before the Collector without proclamation, without advertisement and without taking possession even after winning the case for eviction under Section 7 of the Act by the Gram Panchayat and, thus, this auction was not as per rules. The cancellation order accordingly was passed. The result would be that land would be put to auction where the petitioners would be at liberty to participate. I do not see any reason to interfere in the impugned order so passed. Dismissed. July 25, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
