CWP No. 702 of 2007 24.12.2008 Present: Mr. Ramakant Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Addl. A.G. for respondents No. 1 to 3. Mr. Bhupinder Gupta, Sr. Advocate with Ms. Charu Gupta, Advocate for respondent No.4. A challenge has been laid by way of this petition to order dated 16.3.2007. Mr. Ramakant Sharma has drawn the attention of the Court to two letters dated 9.1.2007 and 7.2.2007 whereby the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Nurpur was directed to hold an inquiry and thereafter, make recommendations to the Deputy Commissioner. The Sub Divisional Magistrate, Nurpur instead of holding any inquiry forwarded the recommendations of the Tehsildar made in the year 2006. The Sub Divisional Magistrate once directed by the Deputy Commissioner, Kangra to hold an inquiry, the same was to be conducted by him. Consequently, the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Nurpur is directed to do the needful as directed by the Deputy Commissioner, Kangra vide letters dated 9.1.2007 and 7.2.2007 within a period of four weeks. The Deputy Commissioner, Kangra thereafter shall pass a speaking order after taking into consideration the report furnished by the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Nurpur. In view of today’s order, the order earlier passed by the Deputy Commissioner dated 16.3.2007 is quashed and set aside. The arrangements made on the basis of various orders passed by this Court shall continue in the interregnum. In view of the observations made hereinabove, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
