(Oral) The land owned by the petitioner's father, described in para No.3 of the writ petition, was acquired by the State of Haryana vide notifications dated 20.04.1990 and 18.04.1991 issued under Sections 4 & 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, respectively and the compensation was paid in the year 1993.
The father of the petitioner unfortunately passed away on 02.02.1999.
It is stated that other legal heirs of deceased-father of the petitioner have given their consent by way of an affidavit in favour of the petitioner and based upon that, the petitioner being the sole legal heir of the oustee, applied for allotment of a plot measuring 250 square yards in the urban estate of Gurgaon.
It is further averred that in the draw of lots held on 02.02.2001 for allotment of plots to oustees, the petitioner was successful and a plot No.611, measuring 250 square yards in Sector 45, Gurgaon was to be allotted to him.
The petitioner is however Kumar Mohinder 2014.03.03 15:18 I attest to the accuracy of this order Chandigarh CWP No.3056 of 2014 [2].awaiting for formal allotment letter till date.
It appears that after representing the authorities, the petitioner raised the above-mentioned issue vide legal notices dated 28.06.2013, 28.08.2013 and 11.09.2013 (Annexures P-10 to P-12, respectively).but finding no response that he has approached this Court.
The facts would speak for themselves.
As the petitioner is eligible oustee/legal heir of the oustee and is successful in draw of lots, it is imperative upon the authorities to issue a formal allotment letter to the petitioner within a reasonable time.
However, without expressing any views on the entitlement of the petitioner's, we dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 4 to consider the above-mentioned claim of the petitioner which is also contained in the above-mentioned legal notices, and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
