CWP No. 20998 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 20998 of 2010 Date of Decision: December 02, 2010 Amarjeet Singh ...... Petitioner versus Union of India and another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr. Gaurav Sethi, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Anjali Kukar, Advocate for the respondents. **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Ajay Tewari, J.: On 25.11.2010 the following order was passed:- “After arguing for some time learned counsel for the petitioner states that he would be satisfied if some time is granted to the petitioner to vacate the premises in dispute since he has now been sitting there for the last half century onwards. He further states that the petitioner is not here but would ensure his presence on the next date of hearing so that his undertaking can be recorded in this regard. Notice of motion for 02.12.2010. Ms. Anjali Kukkar, Advocate accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to supply two copies of the petition to Ms. Anjali Kukkar today itself. In the meantime dispossession of the petitioner shall remain stayed. A copy of this order be given to both the learned counsel CWP No. 20998 of 2010 2 under the signatures of the Court Secretary.” Today learned counsel for the petitioner has prayed that the petitioner may be granted 1½ year to vacate the premises while learned counsel for the respondents has stated that the site in dispute is urgently required by the respondents for construction of permanent quarters since 75% of the army personnel in Ambala Cantt are living in temporary quarters. Keeping in mind the observations made on the last date and the need expressed on behalf of the respondents by learned counsel for the respondents, in my opinion, it would be in the interest of justice if a period of 9 months is granted to the petitioner to vacate the premises. In the circumstances the petitioner is permitted to file an undertaking that he would vacate the site in dispute on or before 31.08.2011. Learned counsel for the respondents on instructions from Colonel Acharya has fairly agreed that in case such an undertaking is filed in this Court within a period of 15 days from today with an advance copy to her, the respondents will not dispossess the petitioner till 31.08.2011. It is made clear that in case the undertaking as stated above is not filed, this petition will be deemed to have been dismissed without further reference to this Court. It is further specified that in terms of the statement made by learned counsel for the petitioner the challenge to the impugned orders is deemed to be withdrawn. With these observations this petition is disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE December 02, 2010 sunita CWP No. 20998 of 2010 3
