Appellant Versus Ram Mehar and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr. Manoj Chahal, Advocate for the appellant. **** 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. This appeal has been filed against the concurrent judgments of the Courts below decreeing the suit of the respondents challenging the order of the Settlement officer whereby the allotment order has been changed in favour of the plaintiff. The following questions have been proposed:- A) Whether the respondent can file a suit against the orders of the Settlement Officer Bhiwani and the orders of the Consolidations of Holdings Officer, Haryana? B) Whether the Settlement Officer Bhiwani and the state of Haryana are the necessary parties for proper adjudication of the matter? Learned counsel is not in a position to deny that in respect of RSA No. 1579 of 2006(O&M) 2 the same dispute earlier suits were filed by both the parties which ended in compromise Ex.P4. In fact, the Courts below have also held that the earlier compromise Ex.P4 binds the parties and, therefore, the allotment order passed by the Settlement Officer is inoperative. In these circumstances the questions of law proposed do not arise in the present appeal and the same is dismissed. No costs. Since the main case has been decided, all the pending Civil Misc. Applications are disposed of. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE July 30 , 2009 sunita
