IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. LETTERS PARENT APPEAL NO. 1058 OF 2010(O&M) DATE OF DECISION: December 14, 2010. Parties Name Randhir Singh ...APPELLANT. VERSUS Commissioner and another ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jasbir Singh Hon'ble Mr. Justice Augustine George Masih. PRESENT: Mr. Ashok Jindal, Advocate, for the appellant. JASBIR SINGH, J. (oral) JUDGMENT This appeal has been filed against judgment passed by the learned Single Bench on July 2, 2010, dismissing Civil Writ Petition No. 1902 of 2008, filed by the appellant. In that writ petition, the appellant has laid challenge to an order dated July 26, 2007 (P-5), vide which legal notice served by the appellant, claiming ownership of the land in dispute was rejected. Further challenge was laid to a notice dated April 27, 2005 (P-2) directing the appellant to vacate the land in dispute within a specified period. Before the authorities below and also before the learned Single Bench, the appellant claimed ownership of that land on the basis of a judgment and decree passed in his favour on May 3, 1972, which were LETTERS PARENT APPEAL NO. 1058 OF 2010(O&M) -2- never produced by the appellant either before the authorities below or the learned Single Bench. On October 4, 2010, further time was granted by this Court to the appellant to produce those documents. However, he has failed to do so. The learned Single Bench by taking note of the entries existing in the revenue record came to a conclusion that the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, has rightly observed that the land in question is the ownership of the Municipal Corporation. It was also rightly held that the appellant has failed to prove his ownership over the property in dispute. If that is so, we are of the view that there was a justification with the authorities to issue notice to the appellant to vacate the land in dispute. Counsel for the appellant states that the appellant is in possession of the land, in dispute, for the last more than 40 years and has also raised his residential house thereon. Be that as it may, at this stage, no interference can be made by us in the judgment, passed by the learned Single Judge. Dismissed. However, if there exists any policy of the State Government, to allot land to the occupants, the appellant may apply to get benefit of the same as per law.
