KIRPAL SINGH Vs. FINANCIAL COMMISSIONER HARYANA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS order shall dispose of CWP Nos. 5533 and 5534 of 1982, as identical questions of fact and law arise for adjudication.

(2.) THE petitioner prays for the issuance of a writ in the nature of Certiorari for quashing the orders date 12.5.1981 and 22.9.1982, passed by the Commissioner, Ambala Division, Ambala and the Financial Commissioner, Haryana, respectively. In order to appreciate the controversy obtaining herein a brief narrative of the facts that have been extracted from CWP No. 5533 of 1982, would be appropriate.

(3.) APPARENTLY , disappointed with the failure of his attempt to thwart the allotment of land to the petitioner, the big landowner manipulated two applications from respondents No. 4 to 7, in the shape of objections, to the order of allotment, dated 14.7.1976. Respondents No. 4 to 7 claimed that the land had been wrongly allotted to the petitioner, as he had colluded with his land owner to procure an order of ejectment. They also alleged that as they were sitting tenants of Shiv Dev Singh, they had a preferential right to allotment. The Collector, considered these objections but rejected them by holding that he has no jurisdiction to review his order.
