IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.7516 of 2011 Date of Decision: April 29, 2011 Jasbir Singh .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab & others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Veneet Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) 1. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner made an application for demarcation of his land so as to determine the land detailed in sale deed, Annexure P-1, dated 5.8.1994. CWP No.7516 of 2011 [2] 2. Learned counsel contends that the authorities are under political pressure not to demarcate the land and therefore, on one pretext or the other, proceedings have been stalled as would be evident from Annexure P-12 to P-16, spanning over 28.1.2011 to 25.3.2011. 2. Learned counsel further states that now no further date has been fixed by the revenue authorities to demarcate the land. 3. I have considered the contentions of learned counsel. 4. No specific direction is required to be issued to the authorities since the process of demarcation has already been initiated. The Court however notices, on perusal of orders, that a simple task such as demarcation, is not being conducted by the authorities who have been allowed police help also. 5. Considering the totality of facts and circumstances, as they emanated from the orders, Deputy Commissioner –cum- District Magistrate, Amritsar, is directed to look into the matter and ensure that demarcation is done within 45 days of receipt of certified copy of this order. It goes without saying that before demarcation, necessary parties are required to be served. CWP No.7516 of 2011 [3] 6. In case any officer/ official has misconducted under influence, so as to frustrate the executive process, Deputy Commissioner would be required to take appropriate action. 7. The petition is accordingly disposed of. (AJAI LAMBA) April 29, 2011 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
