petitioners constitute disputed questions of fact , and as such, ought to have been canvassed by the petitioners before a Civil Court of competent jurisdiction. Litigation in respect of the property in question is pending adjudication before this Court. The statement of a co-respondent has been recorded by this Court, that he would not sell the property in question, except with the prior permission of this Court. The petitioners have not even impleaded as party respondents (in the present writ petition) the vendees to whom they desire to sell the property in question. In view of the above, we are satisfied that the petitioners have misused the jurisdiction of this Court. The petitioners have approached this Court on disputed questions of fact, wherein complicated and intricate issues of facts intertwined with orders passed in civil litigation between the rival parties will essentially have to be adjudicated upon. In view of the aforesaid position, we consider it just and appropriate to relegate the petitioners to their remedy before a Civil Court. For unnecessarily wasting precious Court time for taking us through the pleadings and earlier litigation, we consider it just and appropriate to impose exemplary costs on the petitioners. The instant writ petition is accordingly dismissed with costs quantified at Rs.10,000/-. The aforesaid costs shall be deposited by the petitioners with the Legal Services Authority, Punjab, within two months from today, and the receipt thereof shall be placed on the record of this case, failing which, the instant writ petition will be re-listed for motion hearing, so as to recover the aforesaid costs.
