The Punjab and Haryana High Court will hear on Wednesday an Execution Appeal filed by Gag Dhagara village.
It is listed before a double bench comprising Justice Sureshwar Thakur and Justice Kuldeep Singh
Village sarpanch Banat Kaur has filed an execution appeal in the court submitting that the former sarpanches had filed a civil writ petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2015 seeking directions to a private contractor to deposit the balance amount of the contract money with the panchayat.
She said in her appeal that then Justice Surya Kant and Justice PB Bajanthri, disposing of the petition, had said in their judgment on February 2, 2016, that the needful, including the determination of the amount payable by the private contractor, should be done within three months. It had directed the Mining Department to deduct the amount from the security deposit and release the gram panchayat’s share within a month.
The sarpanch submitted that an amount of Rs 1,48,15,757 was deducted by the Mining Department from the security deposit of the contractor, but the gram panchayat still didn’t get anything.
