M.M.KUMAR, ACJ. 1. The instant petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution prays for issuance of writ in the nature of certiorari for shifting of Sehaj Safai Kendra which is situated adjoining the office of the SDO (Electricity), Sub Division No. 1, Sector 23 D, Chandigarh to any other suitable place in Sector 23, Chandigarh. The petitioners have further prayed for issuance of directions to the respondents to immediately stop the construction of Sehaj Safari Kendra and to remove the construction thereof. 2. Brief facts of the case may first be noticed. The respondents decided to set up a Sehaj Safai Kendra on the vacant site adjacent to the office of SDO (Electricity) (P.1). On 18.5.2006, the petitioners and other residents of the locality submitted a representation to the respondents (P.2). On 23.8.2008 (P.3) another representation was made to the respondents that the heaps of garbage are strewn all around the bin and in the open area which apart from presenting an ugly look at the site is sure to spread many diseases like Malaria and Dengue. When no action was taken on these CWP No. 18814 of 2011 2 representations, the petitioners submitted another detailed representation to respondent no. 2 on 15.7.2010 (P.4) requesting to take remedial steps to prevent further deterioration of the situation and to beautify and convert the open space into Green Belt, as has been done in the 'Leisure Valley'. Another representation dated 21.9.2011 (P.5) was sent to the respondent -Corporation that old trees are standing in the area where the Sehaj Safai Kendra is being constructed which would be axed. Even the Councilor of the area has recommended for shifting of the Sehaj Safai Kendra from Sector 23 D to some other place (P.6) . 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and perusing the paper book, we deem it appropriate to dispose of the instant petition by directing the respondents to decide the representations (P.2 to P.5) by passing a speaking order within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. 4. The writ petition stands disposed of in the above terms. (M.M.Kumar) Acting Chief Justice (Rajiv Narain Raina) 13.10.2011 Judge okg
