Mr.H.S.Brar, Additional AG, Punjab, for the respondents. -.- 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) Notice of motion. On the asking of the Court, Mr.H.S.Brar, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the PUDA Authorities to finalize her claim for the allotment of a residential plot applied for by her deceased husband. It is averred that respondent No.3 vide memo dated 24.9.2009 (Annexure P-8) referred the case to respondent No.2 for according C.W.P.No .19565 of 2010 2 necessary sanction but the matter is still lying pending despite the representations dated 2.6.2009 and 19.7.2010 (Annexures P-9 and P-10, respectively) made by the petitioner. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition as well as after going through the contents of some of the documents including the memo dated 24.9.2009 (Annexure P-8), I am of the considered view that respondent nos.2 & 3 are obligated to take a final decision in the matter for the allotment of plot to the petitioner within a reasonable period. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to consider the petitioner's claim and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
