Allotment Authority-cum-Sub Divisisional Officer (Civil) Dabwali District Sirsa & Ors. ...Respondents CORAM Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.Kannan, Present: Mr.R.S.Mehta, Advocate, with Ms.Sudeepti Mehta, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.S.S.Gorakhpuria, DAG, Haryana. K.Kannan, J . (Oral) 1. The writ petition contains the challenge to the order dated 9.5.1989 passed by the Allotment Authority regarding allotment which had been made to the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that the order was passed behind his back on representation given by some villagers claiming to be tenants and that he was close relative of the owner. 2. The writ petition has been admitted on 8.11.1989 and the impugned order is still in force. The entitlement of an allottee to retain possession could not have been passed without serving notice on the allottee and giving him an opportunity to show cause against cancellation of allotment and for fresh allotment to some tenants. 3. The order passed is set aside and remitted for disposal in accordance with law after serving a notice to the petitioner and to show cause against cancellation before taking a decision on the same. The direction is given to the Allotment Authority, Dabwali who shall make an inquiry and report CWP No.11534 of 1989 2 for further action that may be necessary under section 186 of the Haryana Ceiling on Land Holdings Act. 4. The writ petition is allowed with the directions mentioned above. (K.Kannan) 16.03.2011 Judge rp
