HC junks 17-year-old Gurugram encroachment plea, fines ₹50,000
Nearly 17 years after allowing contempt actions over encroachments, the Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed a related plea, calling it a “gross abuse of judicial process.” Justice Sudeepti Sharma imposed ₹50,000 costs on the petitioner, who sought eviction in Gurugram’s Dhana village. The amount must be deposited with the Punjab CM Relief Fund within two months.
