The Estate Officer-cum-Deputy Commissioner, Ambala, Mr D.D.

The application states that the court has restrained the defendant from constructing anything on the property in dispute. “The defendant wants to raise construction/ encroachment over the government land without obtaining prior sanction from the competent authority. The Estate Officer has been empowered by the Haryana Government notification dated April 2, 1999,” the application states.

“The defendant vide CWP no./LP no. 95/98, challenged the order dated November 10, 1997 of the single judge and the said LPA no.95 of 1997 was also dismissed on September 30, 1999. The defendant has also challenged the said order dated September 30, 1999 before the Supreme Court of India which has been admitted and status quo has been ordered.” “That under the garb of “status quo”. The defendant wants to raise certain construction/encroachment on government land which cannot be allowed,” the application alleges.

It is prayed that the Estate Officer, who is a necessary party, may be impleaded as a party to the suit in the interest of justice and fair play.

A senior retired Army officer stated that the shopkeepers were indulging in anti-colony activities at the instigation of a former sarpanch.

However, a local shopkeeper said the problem was being caused by a former sarpanch who was being supported by a handful of shopkeepers. “We are suffering for no fault of ours. Today morning, they came and told us to down our shutters as the DSP was supposed to come and make inquiries into the matter,” he said.

The president of the DCWA Brig M.M.S. Datta (retd) said an emergency meeting was held in the Elders park. “Its agenda was to apprise the members of the action taken by the welfare association with regard to the incidents of August 8 and 9, in which an unruly mob, led by a former sarpanch of Tundla village, indulged in hooliganism, damaged and uprooted boards in the colony,” he said.
