C.W.P NO. 9814 OF 2007 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P NO. 9814 OF 2007 DECIDED ON : 31.03.2009 Vikram Sethi ...Petitioner versus Chief Administrator and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Ms. Promila Nain, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. J. P. Bhatt, Advocate for Mr. Arun Walia, Advocate, for the respondents. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner seeks direction to the respondents for allotment of One kanal plot to him in any of the sectors of the Urban Estate, Panchkula, on the basis of his application No. 52130 of November, 2003. Notice of motion was issued and in response thereto, the respondents have filed their reply. It is explained that though an advertisement was issued and applications were invited, however, in a civil suit filed by the displaced persons claiming priority allotment under the C.W.P NO. 9814 OF 2007 -2- Oustees' Quota, the Civil Court has restrained the respondent authorities from holding the draw of lots. The said civil suit is stated to be still pending. In these circumstances, no fault can be found with the respondent-authorities for not holding the draw of lots. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with liberty to the petitioner either to withdraw his earnest money which shall be refunded to him along with interest at the same rate as is charged by the HUDA. However, in case the petitioner wants to try his luck on the basis of pending application, his application shall be considered, as and when the occasion arises. Disposed of.
