(ORAL) Prayer in this petition is for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing respondent no.2, Improvement Trust, Ludhiana, to deliver possession of a plot to the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was allotted a plot, vide Annexure P-2, but as the scheme was in dispute, possession could not be delivered though in the case of similarly situated allottees, plots have been allotted. It is prayed that the writ petition may be disposed of with the direction to respondent no.2, Improvement Trust, to consider the petitioner's right for allotment and possession of a plot in accordance with law. I have heard counsel for the parties. In view of the statement made by counsel for the petitioner, and the limited nature of his prayer, the petition is disposed of, with a direction to the Improvement Trust, Ludhiana, to consider the petitioner's claim, after taking into consideration the allegation that plots have been allotted to similarly situated allottees, and to pass a speaking order, within a month of the receipt of a certified copy of this order. Civil Writ Petition No. 18420 of 2005 2 This order shall not be construed to be an expression of opinion on the merits of the controversy. 11.8.2011 ( RAJIVE BHALLA ) VK JUDGE
