IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.17778 of 2010 Date of Decision : September 30, 2010. Radhey Shyam and others .....Petitioners versus Chandigarh Administration and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Rajeshwar Singh Thakur, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 1. 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 petitioners claim themselves to be the residents of various jhuggis in Gursagar Colony, Maloya, U.T. Chandigarh. They seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to accept their application forms for allotment of dwelling units under the Chandigarh Small Flats Scheme, 2006 (for short, 'Scheme-2006'). The case of the petitioners is that from the very beginning, they are living in unhygienic conditions without any basic amenities being provided to them and, therefore, they are entitled for the allotment of dwelling units under the Scheme-2006. It is alleged that despite repeated requests and visits, the petitioners are not been permitted to apply for the allotment of dwelling units under that Scheme. C.W.P.No .17778 of 2010 2 The afore-stated claim has been effectively raised by the petitioners in their legal notice dated 24.7.2010 (Annexure P-4) also, to which the respondent-administration has not responded so far. In these circumstances and without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioners' claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 and/or the competent authority prescribed under the Scheme-2006, to consider and dispose of the petitioner's claim as contained in their legal notice dated 24.7.2010 (Annexure P-4), by passing a speaking order and preferably after hearing them in a representative capacity, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 30, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
