(1.) None has appeared in the case either for the petitioner or for respondent No. 2. The record has been perused.
(2.) It appears that the Additional Director, Consolidation of Holdings, Punjab, Jalandhar, passed an exparte order dated 30.6.1969 in the consolidation proceedings against one Naranjan Singh, respondent No. 2 herein. The said Naranjan Singh, respondent, filed an application before respondent No. 1 praying for setting aside of the exparte order and for re-opening of the proceedings. After perusing the records, respondent No. 1 came to the following conclusion :-
(3.) The exparte order was, therefore, set aside and the petition under Section 42 of the Consolidation of Holdings Act was directed to be re-opened after giving a opportunity to respondent No. 2. The appeal filed against the aforesaid order was also dismissed. The order impugned being based upon record do not require any interference particularly when it has not taken away any right of the parties which is to be adjudicated and determined in the presence of the contending parties. The petition having no merit is accordingly dismissed.Q
