IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.16306 of 2009 Date of decision: 9th November, 2009 Darshan Singh and others … Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others … Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. R.S. Chauhan, Advocate for the petitioners. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Issue notice of motion. On the asking of Court, Mr.Anil Kumar Sharma, Additional Advocate General, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the State. Copy of the petition has been handed over to him. This Court, in Civil Writ Petition No.2180 of 2009 titled as ‘Harmesh Chander and others v. State of Punjab and others’, had ordered the Deputy Commissioner, Ferozepur to look into the allotment made to petitioner on the basis of allegations leveled by Harmesh Chander, petitioner in that writ petition. In pursuance thereof, the Deputy Commissioner, Ferozepur, vide order (Annexure P-9), has cancelled the allotment made to the petitioners. The only grievance raised in the present writ petition is that while passing the impugned order (Annexure P-9), no opportunity of hearing was afforded to the petitioners and the order was passed at their back, therefore, they could not place, before the Deputy Commissioner, Ferozepur, the documents to show that the allotment was rightly made in their favour. Civil Writ Petition No.16306 of 2009 Mr. Anil Kumar Sharma, appearing for the State, submits that instead of setting aside the order, the matter be remanded back to the Deputy Commissioner, Ferozepur for deciding the matter afresh, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners. In view of the very fair stand taken by the counsel for the State, present writ petition is disposed of in pursuance of the statement made by the Additional Advocate General, Punjab. Parties shall appear before the Deputy Commissioner, Ferozepur on 25th November, 2009. Copy of this order, under the signatures of Reader of this Court, be handed over to counsel for the State, for onward transmission and compliance.
