CWP No. 18774 of 2007 Kamlesh Rani versus State of Punjab and another Present : Mr. A.P.Bhandari, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Amol Rattan Singh, Addl. A.G. Punjab. **** In this writ petition, the prayer of the petitioner was for issuance of a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to release the plot of the petitioner in a time bound period in accordance with law. The plea taken by the respondents in the counter affidavit is that the petitioner has not deposited the development and exemption charges @ Rs.283/- per Sq. yards with the Improvement Trust, Bathinda so as to pave way for the issuance of requisite notification regarding the exemption of her plot. Learned counsel for the petitioner says that the aforesaid amount has been deposited by the petitioners with the respondents through bank draft on 12.2.2008. As the amount has been deposited by the petitioners through bank draft on 12.2.2008, therefore, there remains no impediment in issuing the notification for releasing the plot in question from acquisition proceedings. Let a notification in this regard be issued within a period of six weeks. With the aforesaid direction, the petition stands disposed of.
