ORDER

The Will in question executed by Smt. Parbati Kaur in the year 1956 at Indore was challenged and the case is pending before the Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Property 16/113 opposite Hindu Putri Pathshala, Bhagat Singh Street, Kapurthala is different from the property mentioned at Sr. No.2 in the Will which is regarding some shops and some open land in Sadar Bazar, Kapurthala. This position was explained to the complainant vide respondent-department’s letter dated 22.2.2009 which was duly received by the complainant as copies are enclosed as annexures with the application submitted to the Commission. It is further explained by Dr. Sandeep Dhawan that enquiry was ordered by D.C. Kapurthala to identify the properties mentioned in the Will of Parbati Kaur executed in the year 1956 at Indore. Inquiry was conducted by S.D.M. Kapurthala and not by the Civil Hospital authorities. Since hospital authorities were not conducting any inquiry so allowing the complainant to join the inquiry does not arise.

2. In view of the facts mentioned that properties mentioned in the will are different and the case is pending before the Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court about the will, I think the position has already been explained to the complainant vide respondent-department’s letter dated 22.2.2009.
