Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is working as a senior clerk in the Improvement Trust, Amritsar since the year 1980. He was allotted plot No.A-55 measuring 500 square yards, reserved for the employees of the Improvement Trust, under the Ajnala Road Development Scheme vide allotment letter dated 3.6.1996 (Annexure P-1). The aforesaid allotment was cancelled pursuant to some government instructions. The petitioner challenged the cancellation of allotment in a civil suit which was decreed in his favour on 28.2.2004. The Improvement Trust preferred appeal against the judgment and decree dated 28.2.2004 which was also dismissed by the first Appellate Court vide judgment and decree dated 2.12.2005 after holding that approval of C.W.P.No .5147 of 2011 2 the Government of Punjab was not mandatory condition for allotment of the plot and that allotment was cancelled without observing the principles of natural justice. Even though the judgment and decree passed by the civil Court in favour of the petitioner have attained finality, the Administrator of the Improvement Trust declined to execute the sale deed in favour of the petitioner on the same plea that the allotment could not be made to him without the prior approval of the state government. Besides contending that the order of the Administrator dated 15.6.2009 is bordering contempt, it is also urged on behalf of the petitioner that in view of the recent government instructions dated 7.2.2011 (Annexure P-12), the Improvement Trust is under an obligation to execute the sale deed in favour of an allottee who has deposited the whole amount. The petitioner is stated to have deposited the said entire sale consideration and again represented to the Chairman of the Improvement Trust on 23.3.2011 (Annexure P-13) for execution of the sale deed. However, no decision has been taken on his representation in terms of the government instructions dated 7.2.2011, referred to above. In these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Chairman of the Improvement Trust, Amritsar to consider the petitioner's claim regarding execution of the sale deed in his favour on the basis of the government instructions dated 7.2.2011 to be read with the judgment and decree already passed by the civil Court in his favour. The appropriate order shall be passed within a C.W.P.No .5147 of 2011 3 period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
