IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 5602 of 2009. Date of Decision: 18th May, 2009. Inderjit Singh & Ors. ....Petitioners through Mr. M.K.Dogra, Advocate Versus Amritsar Improvement Trust & Ors. .Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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 seek a direction to the Improvement Trust, Amritsar, to hand-over possession of Plot No. E-48 in Ajnala Road Area Expansion Scheme, Amritsar which was allotted vide allotment letter dated 25.8.2006 [Annexure P-2]. According to the petitioners, their predecessor-in-interest [Mela Ram son of Sukh Dass] was owner in possession of land measuring 3 kanals 16 marlas bearing Khasra No. 68/12/2 situate within the revenue estate of village Gumtala, District Amritsar which was acquired by the State of Punjab/Improvement Trust, Amritsar for the Ajnala Road Expansion Scheme. On this premise, the petitioners claim that their predecessor-in-interest was a 'Local Displaced Person' as defined in Rule 2[b] of the Improvement Trust Land Disposal Rules, 1951 and was entitled to allotment of a plot under Rule 6 of the Rules being a 'Local Displaced Person'. Consequently, the respondent Trust vide its resolution No. 128 dated 31.7.2006 allotted Plot No. E-48 in favour of the successor-in-interest of late Mela Ram. The petitioners have already made the payment of the entire sale consideration. However, instead of delivering possession of the aforesaid plot, the Improvement Trust issued a Show Cause notice dated 12.12.2008 proposing cancellation of the allotment of the plot, to which the petitioners submitted a reply dated 23.12.2008 [Annexure P-4]. The petitioners' further case is that no action has been taken thereafter and they presumed that the Show Cause Notice has since been withdrawn. The petitioners accordingly seek a direction that the possession of the allotted plot be handed-over to them. In this regard they are stated to have approached the Improvement Trust authorities several times. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and taking into consideration the nature of the relief sought by them, however, without expressing any views as to whether or not the petitioners are entitled to take possession of the allotted plot, I am of the considered view that the Trust should decided the fate of the allotment earlier made in favour of the successors of Mela Ram, at the earliest. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to respondent No. 3 to take a final decision pursuant to the Show Cause Notice dated 12.12.2008 and in case the petitioners are found entitled to allotment of a plot to hand-over possession thereof, in accordance with law. The needful shall be done within a period of three months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Disposed of. May 18, 2009. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
