CWP No. 5843 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 5843 of 2011 Date of decision:- 01.04.2011 Pardeep Arora son of Sh. Amarnath Arora, r/o Street No. 2, Subhash Nagar, Gidderbaha, District Sri Muktsar Sahib. ...... Petitioner Vs State of Punjab and others. ......Respondents CORAM:-HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI, CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Surinder Garg, Advocate, for the petitioner * * * * RANJAN GOGOI, C.J. (ORAL) This PIL has been filed seeking a direction from the Court for removal of encroachments made by the respondents No. 5 to 12 on the scheduled road i.e. Malout-Bathinda Byepass which is located within the Municipal limits of Mandi Gidderbaha. The materials on record would indicate that the Municipal Committee, Gidderbaha had already issued notices under Section 195-A of the Punjab Municipal Act, 1911 and Section 143 of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995 to the respondents No. 5 to 12 for demolition of the illegal constructions. From the averments made in paragraph 18 of the writ petition it also appears that in respect of the same subject matter there CWP No. 5843 of 2011 2 was an earlier writ petition filed before this Court i.e. CWP No. 2660 of 2010. The said writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to approach this Court once again in view of the stand taken by the official – respondents that necessary action is being taken. In view of the aforesaid circumstances, as notices under the provisions of the Punjab Municipal Act, 1911 and the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995 have already been issued, the said notices have to be brought to their logical conclusion. We, therefore, direct the Municipal Committee, Gidderbaha to finalize the matter at an early date i.e. within two months from the date of receipt of this order or a certified copy thereof. PIL shall stand disposed of in the above terms. (RANJAN GOGOI) CHIEF JUSTICE (KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA) JUDGE 01.04.2011 Amodh
