IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 19853 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION : 21.10.2011 Jarnail Singh and others .... PETITIONERS Versus State of Haryana and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PARAMJEET SINGH Present: Mr. Vivek Goyal, Advocate, for the petitioners. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL, J. The petitioners, who are residents of village Lohara and in illegal possession of the Gram Panchayat land, have filed the instant petition for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the Gram Panchayat not to carve out 100 square yard plots for allotment to the poor and weaker sections of the village, from the land, in which the petitioners are in possession. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioners. Learned counsel contends that the Gram Panchayat has sufficient other land, from which plots for the poor and weaker sections of the village can be carved out, but it is carving out the plots from the land, which is in possession of the petitioners. However, during the course of CWP No. 19853 of 2011 -2- arguments, it has been admitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that for the issue raised in this petition, one of the petitioners had filed a civil suit for permanent injunction, restraining the Gram Panchayat from carving out the plots from the land, which in his possession, and on his application, the civil court has declined to issue interim injunction. In view of the aforesaid facts, after hearing learned counsel for the petitioners, we do not find any merit in this petition, which appears to have been filed by the petitioners only in order to protect their illegal possession on the land of the Gram Panchayat. Dismissed. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE October 21, 2011 ( PARAMJEET SINGH ) ndj JUDGE
