Sandhu, Central Govt. Counsel for Union of India. * * * * * HEMANT GUPTA, J. The challenge in the present writ petition is to the notification dated 30.1.2009 declaring Shahi Samadhan along with deodi as protected monument within the meaning of Section 4 (3) of Punjab Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archeological Sites and Remains Act, 1964. The challenge is also to the orders dated 12.8.2009 and 25.9.2009, whereby the petitioner was ordered to be evicted from such protected monument. CWP No. 16525 of 2009 2 Learned counsel for the petitioner could not point out any illegality in the notification declaring Shahi Samadhan and deodi as protected monument. In view of the said fact, the challenge to the notification (Annexure P-4) is not sustainable. Once the premises in dispute have been found to be a protected monument by way of notification (Annexure P-4), there is no illegality in the order evicting the petitioner from such protected monument. In view of the said fact, we do not fine any illegality or infirmity in the aforesaid orders evicting the petitioner which may warrant interference in the civil jurisdiction of this Court. Dismissed.
