Counsel for the petitioners states that in time, applications were moved, however, arbitrarily, to the neighbours, sites have been allotted, whereas names of the petitioners have been ignored without any Civil Writ Petition No.13647 of 2009 justification and despite requests made, order allotting sites to others has not been supplied to them. To claim relief, reliance has been placed upon a Division Bench judgment of this Court in Bajinder and others v. U.T. Chandigarh and another (CWP No.7566 of 2007), decided on 2.2.2009. In view of facts of this case, this writ petition is disposed of by issuing directions to respondent No.3 to treat this writ petition as a representation and decide it by passing a speaking order. If the petitioners are found eligible to get the relief, the same be granted to them forthwith. To the contrary, if the officer concerned wishes to reject claim of the petitioners, on valid grounds, he may pass a speaking order and supply a copy of the same to them. Needful be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 02.09.2009 (Jasbir Singh) gk Judge 2
