IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 19932 of 2008. Date of Decision: 3rd February, 2009. M/s Inder Sain Kailash Chand & Ors. ....Petitioners through Mr. J.S.Dahiya, Advocate Versus State of Haryana & Ors. ...Respondents through Mr. R.D.Sharma, SR. DAG, Haryana Mr. J.P.Bhatt, 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) The petitioners have multifarious grievances against the respondents including the Executive Officer, Market Committee, Dhand, District Kaithal. The first grievance is that the Booths allotted in the year 1993 were of 12x30 feet size, whereas the booths which have now been allotted to the petitioners pursuant to some directions of this Court, are of smaller size. The second grievance is that some of the petitioners have been asked to pay excess amount towards the allotment price. The third grievance appears to be that the possession of the allotted sites is not being given to the petitioners, though has been offered in papers. Having heard learned counsel for the parties at some length and in the light of the stand taken by the respondents, I am of the considered view that keeping in view the changed circumstances when there is scarcity of land and some vacant space is required to be kept for future expansion, no fault can be found with the decision of the respondents in reducing the size of the booth sites which have been allotted now. As regards the charging of excess amount from petitioners No. 1 and 2, respondent No. 3 is directed to reconsider the matter and in case it is found that these two petitioners have been asked to pay more than the allotted price, the excess amount, if any, shall be refunded to them within a period of three months from the date a certified copy of this order is produced before the said respondent. This takes us to the third grievance, namely, non-delivery of possession of the sites. The petitioners' grievance appears to be justified. Once the booths are allotted, the respondents are obligated to hand-over the physical possession of the sites to them at the earliest after completing the development works in the area. Accordingly, the Executive Officer, Market Committee, Dhand is directed to hand-over the physical possession of the booth sites to the petitioner at the spot within two months from the date a certified copy of this order is received by him. The petitioners shall not, however, raise any construction unless the site plans submitted by them are duly sanctioned by the Competent Authority. If any of the allottee has raised un-authorised construction, the respondents shall be at liberty to get the same removed, in accordance with law. Disposed of. February 3, 2009.
