Civil Writ Petition No. 8312 of 2011 -1- IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 8312 of 2011 Date of Decision : 30.5.2011 Mahesh Chand & others .......... Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & others ...... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present : Mr. M.L. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. **** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) The petitioners have submitted a representation putting forth the objections to the demand notices dated 25.11.2010 (Annexures P-12 to P-16), and dated 22.11.2010 & 24.11.2010 (Annexures P-17 & P-18). The case has a chequered history where the petitioner had been approaching this Court time and again but without any fruitful results and the respondents have been, on one pretext or the other without actually deciding the grounds raised by the petitioner, rejecting the claim of the petitioners, which appeared to be not justified. It is apparent from the record that the petitioners on various occasions have put forth their claim to the respondents along with the reasoning why they are stating so, but the authorities have not gone into those claims in the right spirit and context of the matter and, thus, have Civil Writ Petition No. 8312 of 2011 -2- taken a decision in casual manner. Lastly, the petitioners have now submitted their representation / objections regarding demand notices dated 25.11.2010 (Annexures P-12 to P-16), and dated 22.11.2010 & 24.11.2010 (Annexures P-17 & P-18) issued by Punjab Small Industries & Export Corporation Limited demanding additional price of the plot in question, which was allotted to the petitioners. It has been asserted that the enhanced amount of the land, which was allotted to the petitioners is much less than what is being claimed by the respondent-Corporation. In view of the above, a direction is issued to the Estate Officer, Punjab Small Industries & Export Corporation Limited-respondent No.5 to consider and decide the representation / objections submitted by the petitioners dated 16.5.2011 [Annexure P-20 (colly)] within a period of two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. The Estate Officer, Punjab Small Industries & Export Corporation Limited-respondent No.5 shall deal with each of the points, which have been raised by the petitioners separately, and pass a reasoned order either accepting or rejecting the same on merits, after giving opportunity of hearing to the petitioners. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. 30.5.2011 (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) 'sp' JUDGE
