Consolidation Scheme of village Agampur, Hadbast No.360, Tehsil Anandpur Sahib, District Ropar. The necessity to obtain copy of the Consolidation Scheme arises on account of the eviction proceedings initiated by the Gram Panchayat on the premise that the subject land is shamlat deh and vests in Gram Panchayat. It is in this backdrop that the petitioner wants to refer the Consolidation Scheme to show as to whether the land was reserved for any common purpose.

The petitioner has averred that he applied for a copy of the Consolidation Scheme on 12.08.2014 and then on 08.09.2014 alongwith requisite charges but the same has not been made available so far.

In these circumstances, we dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.1, 2 & 4 to traceout the record of Consolidation Scheme and supply its copy to the petitioner as per rules, subject to deposit of requisite charges, if any.

¶27

Let the needful be done within a period of two weeks from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Dasti.
