CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARKESH MANUJA Present: Mr. Atinderpal Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. HARKESH MANUJA, J. (ORAL) **** By way of present petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, a prayer has been made for issuance of direction to respondent Nos. 3 & 4 to protect the life and liberty of the petitioner at the hands of respondent No. 5. [2] At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner has pointed out that instead of pressing the present petition on merits, his client would be satisfied in case the representation dated 10.04.2026 (Annexure P-5) is considered and decided by passing a speaking order expeditiously. [3] [4] [5] The above prayer seems to be justified. Notice of motion qua respondent Nos. 1 to 4 only. Mr. Gunjan Mehta, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, who has already been on advance notice on behalf of respondent Nos. 1 to 4, raises no objection against the innocuous prayer made on behalf of the petitioner. [6] In view of the agreed stand taken by both sides, but without going into the merits of the controversy, this petition is disposed off with a CRWP No. 6597 of 2026 (O&M) [2] direction to respondent No. 3 to look into the representation dated
10.04.2026 (P-5) and decide the same in accordance with law by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of two (02) weeks from today. In case the needful is not done, respondent No. 3 shall be liable to pay costs of Rs. 2 lakhs from his / her own pocket to the petitioner which shall be recoverable as arrears of land revenue.
