IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 14173 of 2010 Date of decision: 05.04.2011 E.O.-cum-Secretary, Market Committee, Nuh and another .....Petitioners VERSUS Permanent Lok Adalat and another ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. Jagdeep Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. None for respondents No. 1 and 3. Mr. Lokesh Sinhal, Advocate for respondent No. 2. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioners, Executive Officer-cum-Secretary, Market Committee, Nuh, District Mewat and Executive Engineer, Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board, Gurgaon have filed this writ petition to challenge the order passed by the Permanent Lok Adalat (Public Utility Services), Gurgaon. The auction of shop No. 55 measuring 20 x 85 in New Grain Market, Nuh was allotted to one Girraj Kumar/respondent No. 3 for ` 9,41,000/-. Respondent No. 3 failed to comply with the terms and conditions of the allotment and ultimately resumption proceedings initiated against him. It is stated that respondent No. 3 in order to avoid liability, sold the property to respondent No. 2 without completing the requisite formalities. Respondent No. 2, thereafter, filed complaint before the Legal Civil Writ Petition No. 14173 of 2010 -2- Services Authority, alleging that he has purchased the plot and respondent No. 3 has failed to take action to transfer the said plot on his name. The petitioners had also put in appearance and filed the written statement. Permanent Lok Adalat, thereafter, passed the impugned order. After noticing the contention raised before it, it is held that the petitioners had demanded interest and extension fee before transferring the property in favour of respondent No. 2. The payment of interest amounting to ` 1,39,485/- and extension fee of ` 1,50,000/- as demanded has also been cleared. The Permanent Lok Adalat, accordingly, passed the award directing the transfer at the earliest and amount of transfer fee be conveyed to respondent No. 2 to enable him to make the payment. I do not see any ground to interfere in the order passed by the Permanent Lok Adalat. Since the entire liability due towards the petitioners has already been discharged and directions have been issued for transfer of this plot, the petitioners should comply with all those directions. The transfer fee of course would be payable to respondent No. 2, which may be communicated to him. The plea that the plot first have to be transferred to original allottee and then to the respondent appears stretched assertion and without substance. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
