IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.4533 of 2011 Dr.Ambedkar Cooperative House Building Society, Ambala Cantt. Versus State of Haryana & others Present: Mr.Ramesh Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner is a registered society and each member of the society belongs to Scheduled Caste category. The petitioner- society had approached the Government for allotment of 89 plots to each member of the society. The Government had acceded the request of the petitioner and issued a letter to Deputy Commissioner, Ambala on 7.3.1984 for allotment of 89 plots to the members of the society. Only 53 plots, however, were allotted to the members of the society. Remaining plots were to be allotted to other members. This, however, did not happen. The society again approached the respondents for allotment of remaining plots. The request in this regard is statedly made on 3.5.1991. Thereafter, reference is made to some correspondence in the year 1998. Thereafter, reference is made to a letter dated 22.2.2007, where it is stated that the matter is under consideration. The petitioner-society has also made some representation to the Minister, Local Government and has served a legal notice. Now, the petitioner-society has filed this writ petition seeking allotment of plots. I am of the view that the members of the petitioner-society have slept over their rights for too long. The society, registered in the year 1984, was allotted these plots. In case some of the members were not allotted these plots, they should have taken immediate Civil Writ Petition No.4533 of 2011 : 2 : action. After expiry of 27 years, it will not be fair to issue any direction for allotment of plots to the remaining members of the society. Obviously, with the passage of time, the members would have changed and so also the status and even the status of the society would also be not the same. No case for interference, thus, is made out. Dismissed. March 14, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
