JUSTICE K.KANNAN. 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? No 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? No 3. Whether the judgement should be reported in the digest? No ---- PRESENT: NONE FOR THE PETITIONER. MS. REETA KOHLI, ADDL.A.G., PUNJAB. K.KANNAN, J.(ORAL) 1. The petitioner has sought for quashing of the order passed by the Deputy Commissioner, Jalandhar under Annexure P-2 when his application for transfer of the land in his favour was rejected. 2. The contention by the State in reply is that the property stands vested in the Forest Department since 1971 and the provision for transfer of the property was rejected only on the ground that an allotment of the property under Section 10 of the Administration of Evacuee Property, 1950 can be made only so long as the property remains as evacuee property. The property had already stood transferred to the Forest Department and the question of favourable consideration does not arise. 3. There is no representation for the petitioner at the time when the matter case is called. I have, therefore, proceeded on the basis of the records and with the assistance of the counsel appearing on behalf of the CWP No.14839 of 1989 -2- respondents-State. It is clear that the petitioner was not entitled to allotment and the impugned order rejecting his petition was justified. The writ petition is dismissed. March 22, 2011 (K.KANNAN) Gulati JUDGE
