MANI MAHAL Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioners seek a direction to the respondent -authorities not to demolish their cattle -shed/rooms. The above -stated alleged temporary structures have been constructed by the petitioners near the Air -Force Station/AirPort in Union Territory, Chandigarh.

(2.) IT is not in dispute that identical controversy came up for consideration before this Court in CWP No. 21074 of 2011 (Kulwinder Singh versus State of Punjab and another), decided on 14.09.2012 (Annexure P -3) wherein this Court held that no building can be allowed to be constructed in the subject area keeping in view the work of defence and the fact that such structures would cause obstruction in the smooth running of the Air -Force Station. The agriculturists/landowners, however, were permitted to construct small size temporary cattle -sheds for the agricultural purpose.

(3.) ORDERED accordingly.
