IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.2316 of 2011 Dharambir Vs. State of Haryana & others Present: Mr.Suresh Ahlawat, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner had deposited a sum of `4.00 lacs for getting the ponds on lease, which had been leased by the Panchayat for a sum of ` 1,17,000/-. The person having lease in his favour has already obtained an interim order from the civil court. The amount of ` 4.00 lacs of the petitioner is lying in the accounts of the Panchayat. The petitioner had already represented to the Deputy Commissioner for release of this amount till the matter is finalised by the civil court. His grievance is that amount is not being returned. Let the Deputy Commissioner, Jind consider and pass an appropriate order within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. It would be fair to return the amount of the petitioner as there is no right with the Panchayat to keep this amount in its account. Disposed of. February 08, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
