Record further reveals that as per the compromise, petitioner was offered alternate land bearing Khasra No. 549/282, 283, 284 measuring 3 Kanals 14 marlas in revenue estate of Village Sarai, however, that land had already been given to Improvement Trust, Pathankot, for the development works, therefore, it was not made available to be allotted to the petitioner in lieu of his land which has been given to the Principal Community Development Training Centre, Model 2 CWP No.11552 of 2007 Town, Batala. Thereafter, another land measuring 15 kanals 14 marlas in Village Siali was offered to the petitioner. Recommendation to allot the land in favour of the petitioner was made by Sub Divisional Magistrate, Pathankot vide letter dated 10.10.2007 (Annexure R-5/5) to the Deputy Commissioner, Gurdaspur. Learned counsel for the parties have fairly stated that till day, no order has been passed by the Deputy Commissioner, Gurdaspur, on the recommendation of the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Pathankot, dated 10.10.2007 (Annexure R-5/5). Learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that petitioner is ready and willing to accept the land now being offered to the petitioner vide recommendation letter of the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Pathankot (Annexure R-5/5). On being asked, Mr. Jaswinder Singh, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, has fairly stated that decision shall be taken on Annexure R-5/5 by the Deputy Commissioner, Gurdaspur, within such time as fixed by this Court considering all the facts and circumstances of the case as narrated in the petition. In view of the above, present petition is disposed of with direction to the Deputy Commissioner, Gurdaspur, to pass speaking order on the recommendation of Sub 3 CWP No.11552 of 2007 Divisional Magistrate, Pathankot, (Annexure R-5/5) within 30 days from the date certified copy of this order is placed before him.
