Air Marshal Loreto P Pereira [Retd] Petitioner through Mr. Puneet Bali, Advocate Versus HUDA & Ors. ...Respondents through Mr. Arun Walia, Advocate. Mr. R.D.Sharma, Sr. DAG, Haryana. Mr. P.K.Mutneja, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL) This order shall dispose of CWP Nos. 12336, 13940, 13941, 14061 of 2007, 702, 731, 966 and 981 of 2008 as common issues are involved in these cases. In view of the agreed order being passed hereinafter, the facts need not be referred to in detail. The petitioners are successful allottees/re-allottees of plots in different Sectors of HUDA at Gurgaon. The possession of the allotted plots could not be delivered to them for one or the other reasons. Some of them have been offered alternative plots which, due to their disadvantageous locations, are not acceptable to them. Their grievance is that alternative plots ought to have been allotted by holding a limited Draw of Lots in terms of the policy decisions taken by the HUDA on 15.9.2004 and 15.2.2007. Some of the petitioners have also challenged the re- allotment of alternative plots to the private respondents by alleging various irregularities. Notice of motion was issued and in response thereto, counter-affidavits/rejoinders have been filed by the parties. During the course of hearing, Mr. Arun Walia, learned Standing Counsel for the HUDA states that in order to obviate the hardship of those allottees/re-allottees who are clamouring for allotment of alternative plots, the HUDA authorities have no objection in holding a limited Draw of Lots for re-allotment of the available plots. The afore-stated stand taken on behalf of the HUDA is acceptable to learned counsel for the petitioners. Learned counsel for the private respondents also has no serious objection provided that the mini-draw of lots is held without loss of time. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and in view of the agreed stand taken by them, these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the HUDA authorities that all the available plots including those which have already been allotted to the private respondents, be pooled together and put to a limited draw of lots which shall be confined to all those allottees/re-allottees who are eligible for allotment of alternative plots in their respective categories. The previous allotments made in favour of the private respondents are accordingly set aside, as they will be entitled to fresh allotments in the manner, directed above. The mini-draw of lots shall be held under the supervision and control of Mrs. Dipti Umashankar, IAS, Deputy Commissioner, Gurgaon, who is requested to donate some time for this public cause. The mini-draw of lots shall be held as early as possible but not later than two months from today. Mr. Walia, learned counsel for the HUDA states that this is a one-time concession and may not be taken as a binding precedent. Ordered accordingly. Disposed of. Dasti. March 31, 2009.
