IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 5927 of 2008 (O&M) Date of Decision: 14.1.2009. Sanjeev Kumar and another ....Petitioners Versus Madan Lal and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr.Gorakh Nath, Advocate for the petitioners. RAJESH BINDAL, J. **** The challenge in the present revision petition is to the order passed by the learned Court below whereby the prayer for injunction was granted in favour of respondent/plaintiffs. Briefly, the facts are that the respondent/plaintiffs filed a suit for injunction seeking restrain against the petitioners from carrying on the business of sale of meat on old place of business. Keeping in view the fact that Municipal Committee, Kalka had carved out a special market for sale of meat, the petitioners and private respondents, both were carrying on business of sale of meat at Gandhi Chowk, Kalka. Though the plaintiffs had shifted to new market but the petitioner/defendants had not shifted. It was noticed by learned Court below that in terms of provisions of Section 170 of the Haryana Municipal Act, 1973, a municipal committee is competent to fix any place for slaughter of animals and for sale of meat. It is further provided therein that when any such separate location is identified, no person shall slaughter any animal for sale C.R. No. 5927 of 2008 (O&M -2- within the municipal limit at any other place. The fact that new meet marked at different place had been constructed is not in dispute. Keeping these facts in view, the learned Court below has granted injunction in favour of respondent/plaintiffs restraining the petitioners from carrying on the business at the old premises at Gandhi Chowk. Once the scheme has been framed by Municipal Committee to locate all the persons who are carrying on business of sale of meat at a specific place, the petitioners cannot be permitted to carry on the business at the same place where they were carrying on it earlier. Accordingly, I do not find any merit in the present revision petition and the same is dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 14.1.2009 JUDGE Reema
