IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.2589 of 2011 Date of Decision : February 11, 2011. Yashdev Inder Singh .....Petitioner versus Amritsar Improvement Trust, Amritsar .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Dr.N.L.Sharda, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks a direction to the Amritsar Improvement Trust, Amritsar, for allotment of plots to him and his family members in the category of Local Displaced Persons as their land measuring 695 kanals 11 marlas was acquired and possession has been taken by the Improvement Trust on 21.2.2006 and 9.6.2008. It is averred that the petitioner and his other family members squarely fall within the definition of Local Displaced Persons as is given in the Punjab Town Improvement Trust Act, 1922 and thus, entitled to be allotted the plots. However, in stead of considering the petitioner's claim, the Improvement Trust has issued an advertisement inviting applications for allotment of plots on free hold basis in Ranjit Avenue, Ajnala Road, namely the same C.W.P.No .2589 of 2011 2 Scheme for which the petitioner's family land was acquired. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered view that it is imperative upon the Improvement Trust, Amritsar to firstly decide the claim of the petitioner and his family members regarding allotment of plots as per their eligibility being the Local Displaced Persons. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the Administrator, Amritsar Improvement Trust, Amritsar to consider the applications already moved by the petitioner and his family members for allotment of the afore-stated plots and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. In case the petitioner and his family members are found entitled to, it is directed that the allotment shall be made within a period of one month thereafter. Ordered accordingly. Meanwhile, four plots shall be kept reserved for the petitioner and his family members in the Ranjit Avenue Scheme, Ajnala Road, Amritsar. Dasti. February 11, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
