IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.7264 of 2007 Date of decision : 30-10-2008 Gurbakhash Singh Puri ....Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab & anr. ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JORA SINGH Present: Mr. Hemant Saini, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. B.S. Dhillon, AAG, Punjab, for respondents No.1 & 2. Mr. Rupinder Singh Khosla, Advocate, for respondent No.3. M.M.KUMAR, J. The grievance of the petitioner highlighted in the instant petition is that despite the fact that he was allotted plot measuring 450 Sq. Yds. in a draw of lots, allotment has not been regularized. He has placed reliance on the order dated 03-01-2006 recommending that the allotment be made with the prior approval of the Government to the petitioner. In Para 2 of the written statement filed by respondent No.3, it is conceded that required approval of the Government regarding allotment of plot in favour of the petitioner has been obtained on 23-5-2006 and respondent No.3 i.e. Improvement Trust, Ludhiana is ready and willing to allot the plot in favour of the CWP No.7264 of 2007 -2- petitioner. It has also been pointed out that on account of order dated 31-5-2006 passed by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi, selling/auctioning/transfering of plots under the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar Development Scheme has been stayed and the plot of the petitioner falls under the aforementioned scheme. The respondent No.3 has expressed the aforementioned difficulty after stating that it is willing to allot the plot to the petitioner. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, we are of the view that the allotment of plot to the petitioner shall not be hampered merely because there is some stay granted by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi in Civil Revision Petition No.1354 of 2006. The stay order cannot be extended to all the allottees especially when no details of the aforementioned case has been disclosed in the written statement. In view of the above, we dispose of the writ petition at this stage with a direction to respondent No.3 to allot the plot to the petitioner and regularize the same in terms of the approval granted to it by the State Government. The needful shall be done within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. (M.M.KUMAR) JUDGE (JORA SINGH) JUDGE 30th October, 2008 manju
