IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 10430 OF 2009 DATE OF DECISION: July 16, 2009. Parties Name Sant Singh Makkar ..PETITIONER VERSUS District Town Planner (Enf.), Hisar and another ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH PRESENT: Mr. Sudhir Mittal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Tarunveer Vashisht, Addl. A.G., Haryana; JASBIR SINGH, J. (oral) JUDGMENT: This writ petition has been filed to lay challenge to the order dated July 9, 2009 (P-9), ordering demoltion of building constructed by the petitioner, allegedly contrary to the provisions of Sections 6 and 7(1) of the Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963( in short the Act). Counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner filed an appeal against the order under challenge on July 14, 2009. However, in view of a fact that the Appellate Tribunal is without any Presiding Officer, his application for interim injunction was not taken up. It is contention of counsel for the petitioner that in such a situation, there is an apprehension in the mind of the petitioner that the authorities may not demolish his construction. If it happens, it shall cause CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 10430 OF 2009 -2- huge loss to the petitioner. Prayer made appears to be justified. Shri Vashisht has brought it to the notice of the Court that efforts to appoint Presiding Officer are on and it will take some time before some one is appointed to preside over the Tribunal. In view of above, this writ petition is disposed of by ordering that till such time application for interim injunction, filed by the petitioner before the Tribunal, is not taken up for decision, the respondent – authorities shall not take any action consequent to the order Annexure P-9. It is also made clear that if the petitioner fails to move an application to the Tribunal, for taking up his application for interim injunction, within 15 days of the appointment of the Presiding Officer, the stay granted in his favour shall be deemed to have been vacated.
