CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Jagdish Manchanda, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This civil writ petition filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing respondent No.4 i.e. Municipal Council, Tohana, District Fatehabad, to sanction the site plan of the petitioner. It has been pleaded that site plan of the property for construction was submitted alongwith charges on 2.12.2008. The District Town & Country Planning Department has also given sanction on 15.1.2009 that the plan does not violate the provisions in the Act. Another CWP No.8742 of 2009 [2] adjoining property was purchased on 16.2.2009. Again the District Town & Country Planning Department has guided that it does not violate any of the provisions. No action is being taken. The petitioner filed a representation, Annexure P-9. Learned counsel contends that respondent No.4 is a statutory authority and is bound by the provisions in the Statute to deal with the applications made by the residents expeditiously. Despite reminders, the needful has not been done. This petition is disposed of with direction to respondent No.4 i.e. Municipal Council, Tohana, District Fatehabad, to deal with representation, Annexure P-9 and pass a speaking and reasoned order within 4 weeks of receipt of certified copy of this order.
