IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** CM Nos.10778 & 10779 and RSA No.3494 of 2009 (O&M) DATE OF DECISION: 27.4.2010 **** Shashi Shekhar . . . . Appellant VS. Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana and others . . . . Respondents **** CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN **** Present: - Mr.Gurcharan Dass, Advocate for the appellant. **** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN J. (ORAL) CM Nos.10778 & 10779 Allowed as prayed for. RSA No.3494 of 2009 (O&M) This appeal is directed against the judgment of both the Courts below in which, there were two issues (i) whether the Civil Court has no jurisdiction to try this suit under Section 149 of the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act? (ii) Whether the suit is not maintainable under Section 396 of the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act? On both the issues, concurrent findings have been recorded by both the Courts below that suit is not maintainable. Neither any meaningful argument has been raised by learned counsel for the appellant to compel this Court to take a view different than the view taken by both the Courts below nor any substantial question of law has been raised, in this regard. In view of the above, I do not find any merit in the present appeal. Hence the same is hereby dismissed. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) 27.4.2010 JUDGE Vivek
