M.M. KUMAR, J.
The petitioner has sought a direction to the respondents
to allotment him a plot under the oustees category as per his
entitlement. It is claimed that agricultural land belonging to the
petitioner, Shri Harjit Singh and Nasib Kaur (to the extent of 1/3rd
share each) comprised in Khasra No. 41, Khatoni No. 42, Rectangle
No. 8, Khasra No. 8 (7-16), 13 (7-11), total 15 Kanals 7 Marlas,
falling within the revenue estate of village Judian, Tehsil Kalka,
District Ambala, as per jamabandi for the year 1981-82, was acquired
C.W.P. No. 20881 of 2008 2
in pursuance to notification dated 27.8.1981 and declaration dated
10.1.1983 issued under Section 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act,
1894. The land was acquired for the public purpose, namely, for
development and utilisation of the land as commercial and residential
areas for the Urban Estate of Panchkula. It has been asserted that
despite efforts made by the petitioner, no plot has been allotted to him
under the oustees quota. In that regard, the petitioner has also sent a
legal notice dated 15.12.2007 (P-17), however, the same has not
evoked any response.
Without going into the merits of the case, we deem it just
and appropriate to direct respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to take cognizance
of the legal notice, dated 15.12.2007 (P-17) sent by the petitioner and
decide the same expeditiously preferably within a period of two
months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. It
shall be appreciated if a speaking order is passed.
Petition stands disposed of in the above terms.
