(ORAL) (1). The petitioners claim themselves to be the tenants in the alleged shops situated in village Lambian, Sector 69, SAS Nagar Mohali. One of their contention is that in view of the later Government policy decision, the petitioners are entitled for the protection of their possession till the complete development of the area takes place and the possession of the developed sites is given to the allottees.

Mr. Prabhakar, learned counsel for the respondents, on the other hand, states that possession of the owners alone has been protected under the Policy and not of the ‘purported tenants’ like the petitioners (3).
