The said application having been rejected vide order dated 10.01.2019, the instant writ petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.

The contention of the petitioner is that it is just and proper adjudication for the issue. The learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon the judgment rendered by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Badami Devi (Smt) & Anr. Vs. Ambuja Raghvan (Smt) reported in, 2001 9 SCC 245 and judgment rendered by Punjab and Haryana High Court in the case of Mohan Lal Vs. Bhim Sain & Anr. reported in,2011 2 PLR 377.;
