CR No.4736 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CR No. 4736 of 2010 Date of decision:- 10.12.2010 Shubham and another. ....Petitioners Vs. Bindu and others. ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present:- Mr. P.K. Ganga, Advocate, for the petitioners. HEMANT GUPTA, J (ORAL) ****** The challenge in the present revision petition is an order passed by the learned trial court on 23.03.2010, whereby an application filed by the petitioner for rejection of plaint under Order 7 Rule 11 of the CPC was dismissed. It is alleged by the petitioners that the matter was settled before the Lok Adalat and therefore, in terms of Section 21 of the Legal Services Authority Act, 1987, the award of the Lok Adalat cannot be challenged ,more so, in a civil suit. Learned trial court has found that plaintiff Bindu was not a party to this suit, which was settled before the Lok Adalat, therefore, the award of the Lok Adalat will not be binding on the plaintiff, who was not party in the said suit. The award of the Lok Adalat will be binding upon the parties in the civil suit. Since the plaintiff was not a party to the CR No.4736 of 2010 2 said suit, the award of the Lok Adalat is not binding on such party. Consequently, I do not find any patent illegality or irregularity in the orders passed by the learned trial court which may warrant any interference in the revisional jurisdiction of this Court. Revision dismissed. (HEMANT GUPTA) 10.12.2010 JUDGE aj
