IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 16972 of 2004. Date of Decision: 2nd March, 2009. Rakha Singh ...Petitioner through Mr. S.S.Rathor, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. ..Respondents through Mr. G.S.Attariwala, Addl.AG, Punjab. 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 petitioner seeks a Mandamus to direct the respondents to allot a Shop or Booth site in terms of the Government policy dated 1.6.2001 [Annexure P-1]. The petitioner's case is that his land measuring 1 kanal 1 marla comprising Khasra Nos. 16/11/2 and 12/2 situated within the revenue estate of village Lambe, Tehsil Kharar [now Mohali] was acquired by the State of Punjab for the public purpose, namely, development of Sector 69, Urban Estate, SAS Nagar, Mohali. Relying upon the policy dated 1.6.2001 [Annexure P-1], it is urged that the petitioner being an “oustee” is entitled to be rehabilitated by allotment of a residential or commercial site. The petitioner's further grievance is that one Shingara Singh who was a tenant over the petitioner's land has raised a false counter-claim for allotment of the site, though it is the petitioner alone who is entitled for such allotment. Reliance is also placed upon the letter dated 29.10.2001 purported to have been sent by the Additional Chief Administrator, PUDA, Mohali recommending that the claim of the petitioner is genuine and he is entitled for allotment of a Shop site under the Rehabilitation Scheme. Notwithstanding these recommendations, it is urged on behalf of the petitioner, that no final decision has been taken by the competent authority nor Letter of Intent for inclusion of his name in the draw of lots, has been issued. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the nature of relief claimed in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to the Chief Administrator, GMADA, Mohali to consider the petitioner's claim in the light of the recommendations, referred to above, and dispose of the same as early as possible but not later than two weeks from the date a certified copy of this order is received. In case it is found that the petitioner is a bona-fide oustee who is entitled for the benefit flowing under the Government policy dated 1.6.2001, further necessary action in that regard shall also be taken expeditiously. Disposed of. March 2, 2009. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
