C.W.P NO. 5219 OF 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P NO. 5219 OF 2008 DECIDED ON : 20.05.2009 Subhash Chand and others ...Petitioners versus State of Haryana and ors. ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. R. C. Chaudhary, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. R. D. Sharma, DAG, Haryana. Mr. Sanjeev Kaushik, Advocate. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioners seek a direction for allotment of shops/plots in the new Grain Market, Madlauda, District Panipat. The aforesaid relief is sought by them on the ground that they being old licensees are entitled to be allotted the plots on priority basis. In response to the notice of motion, the Market Committee has filed its reply. It is their specific stand that petitioners No.1 and 3 have never ever been the licensees. As regards petitioner No.2, it is clarified that he is having a license in the Vegetable Market and therefore, under the Rules he is not entitled to any plot in the Grain Market on priority basis. C.W.P NO. 5219 OF 2008 -2- Faced with the situation, learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the grand father of petitioner No.1 was having a valid license and the petitioner has been running business with the same license and in the same premises even after the death of his grand father. I am afraid that a license granted under Rule 7 of the Rules, is not an inheritable property. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed. MAY 20, 2009 (SURYA KANT) shalini JUDGE
