Surinder Kumar .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Sanjiv Gupta, Advocate, 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the Improvement Trust, Ludhiana, to restore the allotment of Plot No.141-G, measuring 40 square yards which was allotted to the petitioner's wife out of the discretionary quota, vide allotment letter dated 12.11.1993 (Annexure P2). It is averred that the entire sale consideration had been deposited by the petitioner's wife, however, the allotment was cancelled pursuant to the Full Bench decision of this Court in CWP No.7401 of 1996 (Amar Singh versus State of Punjab and others). The directions issued by the Full Bench were later on reversed/modified by the Hon'ble Supreme in (Harsh Dhingra versus Staet of Haryana and others, 2001 (9) SCC 550. C.W.P.No .22845 of 2010 2 It is claimed that since then the petitioner/his wife have been representing the Improvement Trust for restoration of the plot which is allegedly in his possession. The wife of the petitioner unfortunately passed away on 24.5.2010. The petitioner's case is that the allotments of other similarly situated allottees have since been restored but he/his wife have been denied the same without any justifiable reason. In this regard, the petitioner has served the respondents with a legal notice dated 28.9.2010 (Annexure P-14) to which there appears to be no response so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the allegations levelled by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the above mentioned claim of the petitioner which is also contained in the legal notice dated 28.9.2010 (Annexure P14), and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. January 04, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
