No. 8452 of 2007 DATE OF DECISION: November 28, 2008 Ashok Kumar and another …Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE JORA SINGH Present: Ms. Rajwinder Kaur, Advocate, for Mr. T.K. Joshi, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Dinesh Nagar, Advocate, for respondent Nos. 2 & 3. 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? M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. The petitioners have approached this Court with a prayer for issuance of direction to the respondents to allot Booth No. 88-B, Sector 11, Panchkula, which came to be allotted to them as per draw of lots held by HUDA on 24.2.2003 (P-5). C.W.P. No. 8452 of 2007 2. When the matter came up for consideration on 18.11.2008, it transpired that at one stage a mini draw of lot was held for the purpose of finding out which booth site could be allotted to the petitioners in lieu of Booth Site No. 88-B, Sector 11, Panchkula. In the mini draw of lot, Booth No. 117, Sector 11, Panchkula was picked up for the petitioners and they were declared successful. They claimed that Booth Site No. 117 is equivalent to Site No. 88-B because the parking facility in both the sites is available. However, later on the Commissioner and Principal Secretary to Government, Haryana again asked for holding of a mini draw and the petitioners were found successful in respect of Booth No. 67-B, Sector 11, Panchkula, which was not acceptable to them for lack of parking facility. We have asked learned counsel for respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to seek instructions as to why order be not issued for allotting Booth Site No. 117, Sector 11, Panchkula, which was allotted to the petitioners after mini draw of lot. In fact, in para 1 of the preliminary objections of the reply filed by respondent Nos. 2 and 3 reference has been made to a decision to allot Booth No. 117, Sector 11, Panchkula, to the petitioners. However, the passing of order on 18.11.2008 was necessitated on account of contrary stand taken in para 11. 3. At the hearing today, learned counsel for respondent Nos. 2 and 3 has stated that Booth No. 117, Sector 11, Panchkula, shall be allotted to the petitioners and the stand taken in preliminary objection regarding that decision is correct. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to issue letter of allotment, if not already issued, in favour of the 2 C.W.P. No. 8452 of 2007 petitioner in respect of Booth No. 117, Sector 11, Panchkula, expeditiously but not later than one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. 4. The writ petition stands disposed of in the above terms. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (JORA SINGH) November 28, 2008 JUDGE Pkapoor 3
