Chandigarh and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. J.S. Virk, Advocate, for the petitioner. None for respondents No.1,2 and 4. Mr. N.S. Minhas, Advocate, for respondent No.3. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) The petitioner, who has been substituted as a member of respondent No.3 Society vide resolution dated 23.2.2002, passed by the respondent Society on the basis of the order dated 5.2.2002, passed by the Joint Registrar, Cooperative Societies, U.T., Chandigarh, has filed this petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India, for issuing direction to the respondent Society to include the petitioner as its member and give all the benefits to her, which were to be given to her deceased husband, who was initially member of the respondent Society. Undisputedly, as per the decision of the respondent Society, a CWP No. 12381 of 2007 -2- flat was to be allotted to only those persons, who had paid initial earnest tentative money by 31.1.1992. Admittedly, the husband of the petitioner, who died on 26.12.1993, did not make the said payment. Thus, he was considered ineligible for allotment of the flat. In view of the aforesaid facts, learned counsel for the petitioner confines the prayer that though the petitioner is not entitled for the flat, but she may be treated as member of the respondent Society and in future, if any scheme is floated by the respondent Society or any flat becomes available for allotment, the claim of the petitioner against those flats may be considered in accordance with law. Learned counsel for respondent Society does not dispute the aforesaid factual position and states that as far as the allotment of flat in future is concerned, the petitioner will be treated as member of the society and accordingly, if any flat is available or any new scheme is floated by the respondent Society, the name of the petitioner will be considered for the allotment of flat, if she is eligible for the said allotment. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE November 28, 2008 ( JASWANT SINGH ) ndj JUDGE
