2. It is apparent from the records that respondent No. 6 filed an application u/s 7 of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 (as
applicable to Haryana)(in short, the Act), against respondent Nos. 3 to 5, for their ejectment, by alleging that they were in unauthorized occupation
of Gram Panchayat''s land. The petitioner - Gram Panchayat was also arrayed as one of the respondents. By taking note of the entries made in the
revenue record, the Collector, vide order Annexure P/5 ordered that it is not possible to eject the respondents, referred to above, as in the
revenue record, land is shown as their ownership. The Collector also noted argument of the Gram Panchayat that, actually the Gram Panehayat
was the owner, the entries in revenue record were wrong and changed without any justification, the Collector ordered that let the question of title
be decide first and matter, regarding ejectment be taken up thereafter. The Commissioner, vide order Annexure P/6, upheld the order Annexure
P/5 and directed that question of title be decided u/s 13-A of the Act and for the said purpose, the parties were directed to appear before the
Collector concerned. Counsel states that the proceedings are pending before the Collector. No case is made out for interference on merits.
However, keeping in view facts of this case, the Collector is directed to dispose of the pending litigation in an expeditious manner, preferably within
six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of the order.
