CR No. 4318 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 4318 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 3.10.2011 Mohender Singh ...Petitioner Vs. Punjab Wakf Board. ...Respondent BEFORE: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.R.S.Sihota, Sr. Advocate, with Mr. B.R.Rana, Advocate, for the petitioner. --- A.N.Jindal, J. An ex parte decree was passed against the petitioner on 28.08.1997 and he filed an application for setting aside the said decree on 15.3.2008 on the ground that no valid service was effected upon him. Said application is pending before the trial court. Since the petitioner was not granted any stay of the execution, he has challenged the said order dated 13.12.2010 (Annexure P.1). Having heard the petitioner at length, it appears that irrespective of the fact whether the case of the petitioner succeeds or not, it would be expedient to issue a direction to decide the CR No. 4318 of 2011 2 application for setting aside ex parte decree, within a stipulated time. However, no case for stay of execution is made out. Resultantly, this petition is dismissed. However, the trial court is directed to dispose of the said application within 3 months from today positively. Executing court is directed to issue warrant of possession after three months from the date of receipt of the copy of order. (A.N.Jindal) 3.10.2011 Judge rp
