CWP No.255 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.255 of 2010 Date of decision:11.08.2011 M/s Amartex Industries Ltd. ..... Petitioner Versus The State of Haryana and others ..... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA Present: Mr.Vikas Bahl, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms.Shruti Jain, AAG, Haryana for respondent No.1. Mr.Arun Walia, Advocate for respondents No.2 to 4. ***** RAJIVE BHALLA, J. (ORAL) This order shall dispose of CWP Nos.255 and 256 of 2010 as they involve adjudication of common questions of fact and law. For the sake of convenience, facts are being taken from CWP No.255 of 2010. The petitioner prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing orders dated 30.12.2008, Annexure-19 and 22.04.2009, Annexure-22. Counsel for the petitioner confines his prayer, at this stage, to a plea that as the revision filed by the petitioner is pending adjudication before the Financial Commissioner & Principal Secretary to Government of Haryana, Town and Country Planning Department, Chandigarh, the said officer may be directed to decide the revision and order dated 22.04.2009, Annexure P-22, rejecting the petitioner's prayer for staying the proceedings for recovery and resumption, may be CWP No.255 of 2010 -2- set aside. Counsel for the Haryana Urban Development Authority (for short as HUDA) submits that as the revision is pending, he has no objection, if respondent No.1 is directed to decide the revision. I have heard counsel for the parties, perused the paper-book and the order dated 22.04.2009, Annexure P-22. The petitioner filed a revision challenging an order for recovery, a show cause notice and prayed for grant of interim relief. The application of interim relief was rejected and the revision was adjourned sine-die. The order dated 22.04.2009, reads as follows: - “I have considered the submissions made by both counsels. I agree with the contention raised by HUDA. The application for stay is disallowed. Matters to be decided on merits. Case is adjourned sine-die.” Apart from the fact that no reasons have been assigned for agreeing with the contention raised by HUDA while dismissing the application for stay, the revision has been adjourned sine-die. The revisional authority was required to assign some reason for adjourning the revision sine-die. However, as admittedly, the revision is still pending, the writ petition is partly allowed, order dated 22.04.2009 is set aside and the matter is remitted to the Financial Commissioner & Principal Secretary to Government of Haryana, Town and Country Planning Department, Chandigarh, to decide the revision, filed by the petitioner, within 15 days from receipt of a certified copy of this order. During pendency of the revision, there shall be an interim stay of recovery and resumption. CWP No.255 of 2010 -3- Parties are directed to appear before the Financial Commissioner & Principal Secretary to Government of Haryana, Town and Country Planning Department, Chandigarh, on 26.09.2011. 11.08.2011 [RAJIVE BHALLA] shamsher JUDGE
