The ownership right in the aforesaid plots was subject<\/p>\n<p>matter of dispute between the class -I heirs of Raghbir Singh, namely, Har<\/p>\n<p>Kaur (mother of Raghbir Singh) on the one side, and Neera and Mannu<\/p>\n<p>(widow and daughter of Raghbir Singh) on the other. The aforesaid dispute<\/p>\n<p>eventually attained finality when the Supreme Court finally determined the<\/p>\n<p>share of Har Kaur as 1\/3rd, and the shares of Neera and Mannu as 2\/3rd (in<\/p>\n<p>respect of the aforestated plot Nos.291 and 292).\n<\/p>\n<p>             This matter came up for consideration before this Court on the<\/p>\n<p>writ side, wherein, the writ petition filed by the vendors of Neera and<\/p>\n<p>Mannu was allowed. While disposing of the said Civil Writ Petition<\/p>\n<p>No.15127 of 2001on 30.4.2002, this Court directed as under:-<br \/>\n Review Application No.355 of 2004 in C.W.P.No.15127 of 2001                   2<\/p>\n<p>          &#8220;In view of the facts fully detailed above as also the statement<\/p>\n<p>          of learned counsel representing petitioners, it is ordered that<\/p>\n<p>          respondent authorities would transfer 2\/3rd share of the plots<\/p>\n<p>          291 and 292 in favour of petitioners subject to that petitioners<\/p>\n<p>          will file their affidavits stating therein that in case the<\/p>\n<p>          vendors, namely, Smt.Neera and Miss Mannu deny having<\/p>\n<p>          transferred the same to the petitioners, they would surrender<\/p>\n<p>          the plots to the original owners. The petitioners shall also<\/p>\n<p>          abandon the nurseries that have since been opened in the<\/p>\n<p>          plots in question. Rights of petitioners to seek partition of the<\/p>\n<p>          property and raise construction is left open at this stage. All<\/p>\n<p>          that needs to be mentioned on that account is that petitioners<\/p>\n<p>          may apply for partition of the land and thereafter for<\/p>\n<p>          construction. Their applications for partition and construction<\/p>\n<p>          shall be decided in accordance with law, rules and regulations<\/p>\n<p>          that may govern the field.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>             Subsequent to the disposal of the said writ petition, contempt<\/p>\n<p>proceedings were initiated under the provisions of Contempt of Courts Act,<\/p>\n<p>1971 by the petitioners in C.W.P.No.15127 of 2001. During the course of<\/p>\n<p>the aforesaid proceedings in COCP No.1177 of 2002, this Court passed the<\/p>\n<p>following order on 17.5.2005:-\n<\/p>\n<pre>           Present:     Mr.Adarsh Jain,Advocate.\n\n                        Mr.N.S.Gill, AAG, Pb.\n\n                        Mr.S.C.Khunger, Advocate.\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>                        Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that it<\/p>\n<p>           is implicit in the order dated 30.4.2002 directing that there<br \/>\n Review Application No.355 of 2004 in C.W.P.No.15127 of 2001                     3<\/p>\n<p>           would be transfer of 2\/3rd share of plots 291 and 292 by the<\/p>\n<p>           trust, that the trust will remove any encroachment on the said<\/p>\n<p>           plots and failure of the trust to remove such encroachment on<\/p>\n<p>           an implied direction amounts to contempt. Contempt is not a<\/p>\n<p>           remedy unless an order expressly on this point exists. Learned<\/p>\n<p>           counsel for the petitioner seeks time to get necessary<\/p>\n<p>           clarification. Adjourned to 29.8.2003.\n<\/p>\n<pre>           17.5.2005                                          Sd\/- A.K.Goel\n\n                                                                     Judge\"\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>Consequent upon the passing of the aforesaid order, another Civil<\/p>\n<p>Miscellaneous application bearing No.13298 of 2003 was filed in the said<\/p>\n<p>writ petition, so as to seek a clarification of the order passed by this Court<\/p>\n<p>on 30.4.2002 (while disposing of C.W.P.No.15127 of 2001). The aforesaid<\/p>\n<p>Civil Miscellaneous No.13298 of 2003 was dismissed on 11.7.2003, by<\/p>\n<p>observing that no occasion had arisen for any clarification of the order dated<\/p>\n<p>30.4.2002. Be that as it may, while disposing of C.M.No.13298 of 2003, a<\/p>\n<p>Division Bench of this Court granted liberty to the petitioners in<\/p>\n<p>C.W.P.No.15127 of 2001 to seek partition of the property before they could<\/p>\n<p>claim a right to assume possession thereof.\n<\/p>\n<p>             In the background of the order passed on 11.7.2003 disposing<\/p>\n<p>of Civil Miscellaneous No.13298 of 2003, a civil suit, which was pending<\/p>\n<p>consideration between the parties for partition of plot Nos.291 and 292 in<\/p>\n<p>Lajpat Rai Nagar, came to be disposed of on the basis of the compromise<\/p>\n<p>inter se between the parties. Paragraph 3 of the order dated 14.8.2003<\/p>\n<p>disposing of the aforesaid civil suit is being extracted hereunder:-<\/p>\n<p>          &#8220;3. This petition pertains to passing of final decree of partition,<br \/>\n Review Application No.355 of 2004 in C.W.P.No.15127 of 2001                    4<\/p>\n<p>          petitioners No.1 and 2 have transferred their share in favour of<\/p>\n<p>          petitioners No.3 to 6 to the extent of their 2\/3rd share. Although<\/p>\n<p>          the compromise Ex.C4, the parties have placed on file a site<\/p>\n<p>          plan showing separate shares falling to their share. As such,<\/p>\n<p>          final decree is ordered to be drawn up and the parties are<\/p>\n<p>          directed to furnish the requisite stamp papers within 15 days<\/p>\n<p>          and thereafter file be consigned to the record room.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>             When the proceedings initiated in COCP No.1177 of 2002<\/p>\n<p>came up for consideration at the hands of this Court on 29.8.2003, the<\/p>\n<p>following order was passed:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>           &#8220;Civil Misc. application is allowed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>           Learned counsel for the petitioner has sought clarification of<\/p>\n<p>           the order dated 30.4.2002 passed by the Division Bench of<\/p>\n<p>           this Court in CWP No.15127 of 2001. The application for<\/p>\n<p>           clarification has been disposed on 11.7.2002 vide Annexure<\/p>\n<p>           A\/1. Thereafter, even the partition to the extent of 2\/3rd share<\/p>\n<p>           of plot Nos.291 and 292 have taken place between the parties<\/p>\n<p>           and a final decree has already been passed by the Civil Judge<\/p>\n<p>           on 14.8.2003. In view of these subsequent facts, the<\/p>\n<p>           respondents are bound to deliver the possession of the<\/p>\n<p>           property to the petitioner.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is not a matter of dispute that consequent upon the passing of the<\/p>\n<p>aforesaid order, possession was delivered to the petitioners in CWP<\/p>\n<p>No.15127 of 2001.\n<\/p>\n<p>             It is in the background of the factual position noticed here-in-<\/p>\n<p>above, that the instant review application has been filed at the hands of<br \/>\n Review Application No.355 of 2004 in C.W.P.No.15127 of 2001                5<\/p>\n<p>Gajinder Singh Bhatia, claiming possession over plot No.292, Lajpat Nagar,<\/p>\n<p>Jalandhar, in his capacity as a tenant. It is the vehement contention of<\/p>\n<p>applicant-Gajinder Singh Bhatia that the order dated 30.4.2002 passed by<\/p>\n<p>this Court disposing of CWP No.15127 of 2001 had adversely affected his<\/p>\n<p>rights. It is pointed out by Gajinder Singh Bhatia in the review application<\/p>\n<p>that he had not been impleaded as a party-respondent in CWP No.15127 of<\/p>\n<p>2001, the order passed in the said Writ Petition at his back and which<\/p>\n<p>adversely affected his rights, were liable to be set aside.<\/p>\n<p>              The claim of Gajinder Singh Bhatia in his review application<\/p>\n<p>No.355 of 2004 is based on the fact that he enjoys tenancy rights over plot<\/p>\n<p>No.292, Lajpat Nagar, Jalandhar. This assertion at the hands of Gajinder<\/p>\n<p>Singh Bhatia has been vehemently opposed by the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners before us. In fact the claim of tenancy rights at the hands of<\/p>\n<p>Gajinder Singh Bhatia, before this Court, is not supported by any<\/p>\n<p>documentary authentication. Gajinder Singh Bhatia has inter-alia assailed<\/p>\n<p>the judgment and decree dated 14.8.2003, whereby partition was effected<\/p>\n<p>between the petitioners in CWP No.15127 of 2001 (who were vendees of<\/p>\n<p>Neera and Mannu) and between Har Kaur. A few other issues have also<\/p>\n<p>been raised at the hands of Gajinder Singh Bhatia.\n<\/p>\n<p>             The order dated 30.4.2002 in respect of which review has been<\/p>\n<p>sought was an order passed on the writ side. Now the assertions made on<\/p>\n<p>behalf of the applicant, namely, Gajinder Singh Bhatia raise disputed<\/p>\n<p>questions of fact. These questions cannot be adjudicated upon by this Court,<\/p>\n<p>in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.<\/p>\n<p>In the facts and circumstances of this case, we consider it just and<\/p>\n<p>appropriate to grant liberty to the review applicant Gajinder Singh Bhatia to<br \/>\n Review Application No.355 of 2004 in C.W.P.No.15127 of 2001                   6<\/p>\n<p>raise all or any of the claims raised by him through the instant Review<\/p>\n<p>Application before a civil Court of competent jurisdiction, if he is so<\/p>\n<p>advised, in accordance with law. The instant review application is<\/p>\n<p>accordingly disposed of in the aforesaid terms. Needless to mention that in<\/p>\n<p>case the review applicant avails of any such remedy, any observation made<\/p>\n<p>in the instant order, shall not be taken into consideration by the Civil Court,<\/p>\n<p>as an expression of opinion, on any of the issues canvassed.<\/p>\n<pre>\n\n\n                                                              (J.S.Khehar)\n                                                                   Judge\n\n\n\n                                                              (Nawab Singh)\n3.3.2009                                                          Judge\nAS\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Rohit Sharma &amp; Others vs State Of Punjab &amp; Others on 3 March, 2009 Review Application No.355 of 2004 in C.W.P.No.15127 of 2001 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH.
