The petitioners, who are working as District Town Planner & Divisional Town Planner respectively, have approached this Court with a prayer that they be considered for allotment of Government accommodation similar to the Architect/Executive Engineer because they are drawing the same pay scale. In that regard, reference has been made to the amendment dated 20.08.2010 carried in the Government Residences (Chandigarh Administration General Pool) Allotment Rules 1996 where the post of Architect was added for allotment of house in category IX (Old). To that CWP No.19586 of 2011 -2- effect, the petitioner has already sent a representation to the respondents on 20.08.2010 (Annexure P-4) which is still pending with the Advisor to the Administrator, Union Territory, Chandigarh. 4. Keeping in view the nature of the prayer made, we are of the opinion that it would be appropriate to issue directions to the Advisor to the Administrator, U.T., Chandigarh to take cognizance of the representation and decide the same expeditiously preferably within a period of two months by passing a speaking order. 5. The present writ petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid directions. (M.M. KUMAR) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE (RAJIV NARAIN RAINA) JUDGE 19.10.2011 manju
