IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 8229 of 2006. Date of Decision: 25th March, 2009. Ramesh Kumar Bansal & Ors. ..Petitioners through Mr. N.S.Sekhawat, Advocate Versus State of Haryana & Ors. .Respondents through Mr. R.D.Sharma, Sr. DAG, Haryana. 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. 8229 and 9306 of 2006 as common questions of law and facts are involved in both these cases. The petitioners are aggrieved at the orders cancelling allotment of Government accommodation in their favour. They have already given an undertaking that they shall vacate the allotted accommodation w.e.f. 1.4.2009. Meanwhile, the petitioners have moved a Civil Misc. Application to direct the respondents to consider their claim for allotment of Government houses in the medical category. The petitioners' grievance is that during the period when they were in possession of the government accommodation allotted out of the Chief Minister's pool, some of their juniors like Smt. Bir Mati, Steno Typist, Narinder Kumar, Clerk, Smt. Nanhi Devi, Raghbir Singh and Suraj Bhan, Peons have been allotted government accommodation. Some more houses are stated to be still lying vacant and instead of asking them to vacate, the petitioners want to be accommodated in those houses on medical grounds. It appears from the stand taken on behalf of the respondents that petitioner No. 2 [in CWP No. 8229 of 2006] had applied on medical grounds on 25.1.2000 but his claim was turned down. Petitioner No. 3 appears to have applied under the said category only in 2009. Be that as it may, if the petitioners are eligible to be considered for allotment of government houses in the medical category, it is imperative upon the respondents to consider their claim, subject to their eligibility, more so when juniors to the petitioners have been allotted such houses. Suffice it to say that the petitioners had no occasion to challenge the allotment of their juniors made in the year 2004-05 as, at that time, they were in possession of the Government accommodation, though allotted out of the CM's pool. In these circumstances, while the petitioners are bound by their own undertaking and are required to vacate the allotted houses w.e.f. 1.4.2009, they shall be at liberty to apply afresh under the medical category within a period of two weeks from today and if any such application is moved by them, the respondents are directed to consider the same, in accordance with law and rules and subject to the petitioners' eligibility, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of such applications. Since the petitioners have been allowed to occupy the government accommodation till 31.3.2009 under the orders of this Court and/or have been permitted to vacate the same w.e.f. 01.04.2009, they shall not be liable to pay any penal rent.
