This Court, on 09.08.2019 had allowed CWP-3457-2017, as became raised before this Court by one Darshan Singh, who became aggrieved by an order of eviction, as became made against him, by the Statutory Authorities below.
2. In addition, to the concurrently made orders of eviction becoming sustained by this Court, this Court had also ordered that in term of Rule 20-A of The Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Rules, 1964, damages be assessed by the Competent Authority against the encroachers, upon, the panchayat lands concerned. Since, the above order has yet remained unenforced, at the instance of the Competent Authorities concerned, therefore, the petitioner herein accessed this Court for a direction being made, upon the respondents concerned, to ensure that it is forthwith enforced.
3. Moreover, this Court, on 22.02.2023, given the inordinate delay in the enforcement of the verdict (supra), made by this Court, upon, the Authorities concerned, had passed a direction, upon the learned Collector concerned, to personally record his appearance before this Court, and, also to show cause, the reasons which prevailed, upon the Authorities concerned,
The court emphasized the necessity of compliance with statutory provisions and natural justice principles in eviction proceedings, mandating that execution petitions be filed to allow for objections ....
Eviction orders under the Punjab Village Common Lands Act cannot be enforced until they attain finality, especially when a statutory appeal is pending.
