CWP No. 1842 of 1987 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 1842 of 1987 Date of decision : August 23 , 2010 Jagmal Singh ...... Petitioner v. The Financial Commissioner, Haryana ...... Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. Arun Bansal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. A.K.Gupta, Addl.AG, Haryana. *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J This petition has been filed against the order dated 26.5.1986 passed by the Financial Commissioner dismissing the revision filed by the petitioner challenging declaration of surplus area of 101K 14 M of land in his hands. The solitary contention is that on 24.10.1971 one son of the petitioner viz.Virender Singh had been given away in adoption and, therefore, 43 kanals 6 marlas of land which stood in the name of Virender Singh could not have been counted towards the land of the petitioner. It is CWP No. 1842 of 1987 2 not disputed that on the appointed date viz. 24.1.1971 Virender Singh had not been given away in adoption. It is also not disputed that originally the petitioner had himself included the alleged land of Virender Singn in his declaration. It is also not disputed that in March 1976 in the school leaving certificate Virender Singh had been shown as the son of petitioner Jagmal Singh. It is also not disputed that even in the subsequent revenue record Virender Singh was continued to be shown as the son of petitioner Jagmal Singh. In the circumstances no fault can be found in the concurrent findings of the authorities below that the alleged adoption could not be taken into account and the land of Virender Singh had to be included in the surplus pool of the petitioner. Consequently this petition is dismissed. ( AJAY TEWARI ) August 23, 2010. JUDGE sunita
