This writ petition has been filed with a prayer that directions be issued to the respondents to allot a commercial site/shop, by implementing the Scheme, duly framed by the Government, for the purpose of rehabilitation of sufferers/oustees of the Blue Star Operation. It is case of the petitioner that he was a tenant in a shop, which was burnt, during Blue Star Operation, in the year 1984. Counsel for the petitioner states that the State of Punjab has formulated a policy to rehabilitate sufferers of that action. Despite request made by the petitioner, nothing has been done. It is a fact that this writ petition has been filed after about 24 years of the said incident. No explanation of such a huge delay has been furnished by the petitioner. It has only been propagated by the petitioner that he was suffering from heart ailment. In support of that C.W.P. No.12598 of 2009 -2- contention, nothing has been placed on record. Further prayer of the petitioner is that a similar writ petition was admitted by this Court in the year 2000, as such this writ petition be also admitted. Even after filing of that writ petition, more than 9 years has elapsed. In view of above, no case is made out for interference. On account of latches, this writ petition is dismissed.
