Sunil Sally and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.R.S.Bajaj, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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 petitioners are the allottees of booth sites in the Leak Wala Tank Scheme developed by the Town Improvement Trust, Batala. They seek a mandamus to direct the respondent-Improvement Trust to remove the encroachments therefrom and provide them the basic amenities therein like water, street lights, sewerage, metalled pavements, roads and corridors etc. It is also alleged that the petitioners want to raise construction thereon but the site plans are not being sanctioned nor the possession of the sites has been delivered to them. In this regard, the petitioners are said to have made several representations as well as they served the respondents with a legal notice dated 25.8.2010 (Annexure P5). The legal notice was responded by the respondents to the effect that the C.W.P.No .3804 of 2011 2 matter is still pending consideration before the State Government. In these circumstances, however, without expressing any final views on the merits of the petitioners' claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Principal Secretary to the Government of Punjab, Local Government Department, Punjab, to take a decision on the reference, if any, received from the Batala Improvement Trust, Batala, regarding sanction of the site plans. The needful shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. On receipt of the necessary sanction, the Batala Improvement Trust, Batala is directed to take further steps for redressal of the petitioners' grievances as contained in the afore-stated legal notice/ representations, within a period of four months from the date of receiving the sanctioned plan. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 03, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
