JUSTICE JORA SINGH Present: None for the petitioner. 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? M.M. KUMAR, J. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to the respondents to refund her the amount of earnest money/security amounting to Rs. 59,940/- alongwith interest @ 18%, which she had deposited alongwith her application No. 190485, dated 8.2.2007, for allotment of plot in Sector 31, Panchkula (P-1). The amount was although refunded to the petitioner vide letter dated 30.7.2007 but on the cheque her name was mentioned incorrectly (P-2 & P-3). On 15.9.2007, the petitioner represented to the Estate Officer, HUDA, Panchkula for carrying out correction in the refund order/cheque (P-4). Without carrying out any correction in the name, again the same cheque was returned to her on 3.11.2007 (P-5). On C.W.P. No. 20213 of 2008 7.11.2007, the petitioner again returned the cheque and also requested for revalidation of the same (P-6). On 22.2.2008, the petitioner also sent a legal notice (P-7) followed by reminder dated 31.3.208 (P-8). Despite this, again a cheque with wrong name has been received by the petitioner on 3.5.2008 (P-10). On 27.5.2008, 24.6.2008 and 9.7.2008, the petitioner is stated to have visited the office of the Estate Officer but in vain. Faced with this situation, the petitioner again sent a legal notice dated 28.7.2008, however, the needful has not been done (P-11). Without going into the merits of the case, we deem it just and appropriate to direct respondent No. 2 to take cognizance of the legal notice, dated 28.7.2008 (P-11) sent by the petitioner and decide the same expeditiously preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. It shall be appreciated if a speaking order is passed. Petition stands disposed of in the above terms. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (JORA SINGH) December 1, 2008 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
