IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.11557 of 2009 Date of Decision: 07.08.2009 Parveen Kumari Petitioner Versus Powergrid Corporation of India (North Region) and another Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH Present: Mr.Tajender K.Joshi, Advocate for the petitioner ….. Jasbir Singh, J.(Oral) Notice of motion. Mr.I.S.Sidhu, Advocate accepts notice. This writ petition has been filed to lay challenge to the order/ letter dated 7.7.2009 (P10), passed by respondent No.3, rejecting representation filed by the petitioner regarding shifting of high tension transmission line through her land. It is contention of counsel for the petitioner that the route alignment of the transmission line was approved on 6.10.2005, as per guidelines, on the basis of survey conducted and the standard laid down by the respondent-corporation. The scheme was approved by the Government of India and notification in that regard was issued on 23.4.2007. Petitioner contends that thereafter, without any justification, alignment of the transmission line was shifted through her land without adopting proper procedure and issuing any notification in that regard, which is mandatory as per law. By stating her grievance, she sent a representation, Civil Writ Petition No.11557 of 2009 which was disposed of by the impugned order. It is grievance of the petitioner that before passing that order, she was not heard. To the contrary, Mr.Sidhu states that she did not respond to the notice sent by the respondent-corporation, on the dates, when her representation was taken up for consideration. Be that as it may, this Court feels that it will be appropriate if representation of the petitioner is decided in her presence. Mr.Sidhu also very fairly states that let date be fixed for the said purpose and the petitioner be directed to appear before the competent officer on that date. To this, Mr.Joshi has not raised any objection. In view of above, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.3 to pass a fresh order on representation filed by the petitioner, after giving her proper opportunity of hearing. The petitioner is directed to appear in the office of respondent No.3 on 12.8.2009 at 11.AM at Moga and shall put up proof as to when ‘rain guns’ were installed in her land. It is made clear that if the petitioner fails to appear on the date fixed, this writ petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed. Copy of the order be supplied to counsel for the parties under signatures of the Court Reader. 07.08.2009 (Jasbir Singh) gk Judge 2
