It is the case of the petitioners that under the said Scheme, 100 square yards plot is to be allotted to the persons belonging to the Scheduled Castes, Backward Class Category `A', and the persons, who are living below poverty line. Under the said Scheme, a survey was conducted in the village and after identifying the persons, belonging to the aforesaid categories, a list of the eligible persons was prepared, but the Sarpanch of the village, in CWP No. 22417 of 2011 -2- connivance with some other persons, has not included the names of the petitioners in the said list. It is further case of the petitioners that in this regard, a detailed representation was made by them to the Additional Deputy Commissioner, Rewari, on 24.2.2009, which was duly marked by him to the Block Development & Panchayat Officer, Khol, but till date, no decision has been taken on the said representation. It is further case of the petitioners that thereafter, many reminders were sent to the authorities and a notice dated 10.5.2011 (Annexure P-2) was also given to the Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat, but till date, the claim of the petitioners for allotment of 100 square yards plots to them under the aforesaid Scheme has not been considered. In view of the aforesaid facts, after hearing learned counsel for the petitioners, without issuing notice of motion as it will un-necessary delay the matter, we dispose of this petition with a direction to the Additional Deputy Commissioner, Rewari (respondent No.4 herein) to consider and decide the representation dated 24.2.2009, made by the petitioners, in accordance with law by passing a speaking order, expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
