IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.15128 of 2008 Date of decision : 27th August, 2008 Smt. Santosh and others … Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others … Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present : Mr. J.P. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. Smt. Santosh and 21 others have preferred present writ petition seeking quashing of BPL list (Annexure P-23) of village Sahbajpur, Block Nangal Chaudhary, Tehsil Narnaul, District Mahindergarh, drawn by the State of Haryana, as it has been urged that the same was prepared on the basis of nepotism under the undue influence of respondent No.6 – Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat and list contained names of persons who are ineligible being holders of agricultural land and having good financial position. It has been further prayed that a direction be issued restraining the respondents not to disburse the monthly ration to the persons, who have been included in the list. We have perused the averments made in the writ petition. These contain all disputed questions of fact. As prayed by the petitioners, CWP 15128 of 2008 we cannot hold the fact finding inquiry over the list prepared by the officials in discharge of their duties. Vague and omnibus allegations of nepotism and favourtism have been leveled without any material to substantiate the same. We have heard the counsel for the petitioners. We find that no credence can be extended to the bald assertions made in the present writ petition. We are hesitant to examine and review the list of persons Below Poverty Line, prepared regarding one village simply because petitioners have been able to raise accusing finger. There is no merit in the present writ petition and the same is dismissed. [HEMANT GUPTA] JUDGE [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE August 27, 2008. rps 2
