IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No.16054 of 2011 Date of decision: 30.8.2011 Om Pal Singh Punia -----Petitioner v. The State of Haryana & others -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL Present:- Mr. N.R. Dahiya, Advocate for the petitioner. --- ADARSH KUMAR GOEL, ACJ This petition seeks quashing of resolution dated 8.8.2001, Annexure P-2, passed by the Gram Panchayat giving the panchayat land to Maharana Pratap Memorial Charitable Trust, Bhiwani. Case of the petitioner is that the transaction was at the instance of MLA of the ruling party who manipulated approval from the official channels. Complaint was made against Dashrath Singh, Sarpanch, on which inquiry was held and findings were recorded against him which led to his removal vide order dated 9.10.2003. Steps were also taken by District Town Planner for demolishing the building constructed on the land and also for cancellation of the transaction, against which the Trust filed a suit, C.W.P. No.16054 of 2011 in which interim order was granted by the trial Court and affirmed by the appellate Court but this Court vacated the same vide order dated 25.4.2011 in Civil Revision No.1774 of 2010 Gram Panchayat Village Paluwas v. Maharana Partap Charitable Trust, Bhiwani and others. Revenue authorities were given liberty to proceed further and injunction against further construction was granted in favour of the Panchayat. From the resume of facts, it is clear that the issue of validity of resolution passed by the Panchayat in transferring the land to the Trust is already subject matter of various legal proceedings. In these circumstances, this petition cannot be entertained by way of public interest litigation. Dismissed.
