Swarn Singh and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.H.S.Saini, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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 petitioners are residents of Bank Enclave at Jalandhar. They are aggrieved by the action of the 4th respondent-a Real Estate Developer who is allegedly constructing seven storeyed apartments behind the back of the petitioners' locality. It is alleged that as per the Municipal Bye-laws, only four storeyed residential buildings can be constructed. It is also alleged that the width of the main road to provide access to the multi- storeyed buildings being constructed by respondent No.4 is less than 45 ft. which is the minimum requirement. According to the petitioners, the non- observance of the above cited Building Bye-laws would not only lead to unregulated development but would also cause traffic congestion and other obstructions in the peaceful enjoyment of the petitioners' properties. The C.W.P.No .23178 of 2010 2 petitioners are said to have made certain complaints to the Municipal Corporation, Jalandhar, followed by a legal notice dated 25.6.2010 (Annexure P-6). Having received no response thereto that the petitioners have approached this Court. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and without expressing any views on the allegations levelled, especially when the respondents have not been heard at this stage, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation, Jalandhar to redress the petitioners' grievances as contained in the legal notice dated 25.6.2010 (Annexure P-6) by passing a speaking order and preferably by giving an opportunity of hearing in representative capacity, 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
