Civil Revision No. 2555 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 2555 of 2011 Date of Decision: 20.4.2011 *** Bhuru Ram & Anr. .. Petitioners Vs. Mangal Singh & Ors. .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present:- Mr. Akshay Kumar Goel, Advocate for the petitioners. *** ARVIND KUMAR, J. The petitioners-plaintiffs have filed the instant revision petition laying challenge to the order dated 10.3.2011 passed by the learned Appellate Court below whereby the ad-interim temporary injunction granted in their favour by the learned trial Court vide order dated 1.12.2010 has been set aside. Respondent No.3 Gram Panchayat is carrying on the work of making the street as well as drains pucka. The plaintiffs come up with the plea that the defendants want to change the natural flow of rainy as well as filthy water by obstructing the slope from which the water cross and ultimately dropped into the villager culvert. The main ground taken by the learned trial Court while granting temporary injunction was that the flow of water from point A to E, as shown in the site plan, is more convenient, as pleaded by the plaintiff and is for the benefit of the village people. However, this does not find favour with the learned Appellate Court and it is observed that it is not material that the route of water, as alleged by the plaintiffs, is short one, if there is no natural flow of water. It is evident from the record that the houses of parties are adjacent to each other and it cannot be believed that only to accommodate the private respondents the Gram Panchayat is changing the natural flow of water, inviting annoyance of other residents of locality. No doubt the water has to cross somewhat long journey while finally dipping Civil Revision No. 2555 of 2011 2 into the culvert, but it cannot be ignored that the construction process is being carried out by Gram Panchayat under the supervision of BDPO, a Government agency, who after taking into account all the pros and cons of the matter is carrying out the construction. Thus, it was rightly held that Gram Panchayat is constructing the street and drainage system without changing the natural flow of water, which already prevails. Finding that the plaintiffs are only causing hindrance in the public work, the learned appellate Court rightly set aside the order granting ad-interim injunction to the plaintiffs. There is no illegality or perversity in the impugned order. The revision petition, being without merit, is accordingly dismissed in limine. (ARVIND KUMAR) JUDGE April 20 , 2011 Jiten
