C.W.P NO. 11971 OF 1990 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P NO. 11971 OF 1990 DECIDED ON : 24.02.2009 Inderjit Bedi ...Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Gurnam Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) In this Civil Writ Petition, the petitioner seeks a direction to deliver physical possession of Plot No. B-369 measuring 125 sq. yards under the Ajnala Road Area Development Scheme, allotted to her by the Improvement Trust, Amritsar, in terms of resolution No. 342 dated 21/22.01.1980. The petitioner's case is that pursuant to the allotment of the above mentioned plot, she deposited a sum of Rs.1000/- along with application dated 17.03.1980 and intimation of allotment of the plot in her favour was duly sent by the Trust to the Regional Director, Local Government, Punjab vide letter Annexure P-2. The petitioner has further averred that C.W.P NO. 11971 OF 1990 -2- subsequently all the allotments made by the Improvement Trust were cancelled by the State Government. The allottees approached this Court and a learned Single Judge vide his judgment, reported as “Baldhir Kaur vs. State of Punjab and others” ILR (1984), I, Punjab and Haryana-155, struck down the government decision. The learned Single Judge vide his judgment dated 07.05.1984 (Annexure P-9) allowed another bunch of writ petitions, including C.W.P No. 5135 of 1983 filed by the petitioner challenging the cancellation of allotment in her favour. Her grievance is that even when the allotment of the subject plot in her favour stands restored under the orders of this Court, physical possession of the plot is not being delivered to her despite repeated representations, including representation dated 15.03.1990 (Annexure P-13). The record of this case reveals though a learned counsel had put in appearance on behalf of the Trust, but no reply controverting the petitioner's claim has been filed so far. The petitioner's allegation that the similarly situated other allottees have been delivered possession, has also remained uncontroverted. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and going through the record, this writ petition is allowed to the extent that respondent No.2-Improvement Trust, Amritsar is directed to ascertain the correctness of the facts noticed above and if there is no legal impediment, to deliver the C.W.P NO. 11971 OF 1990 -3- possession of the allotted plot to the petitioner, as early as possible, but not later than three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
