It<\/p>\n<p>is  further prayed that respondents 1 to 5 be directed  to<\/p>\n<p>issue  allotment  order  with delivery  of  possession  in<\/p>\n<p>respect  of  plot  in dispute, in favour  of  the  present<\/p>\n<p>petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>(2)   Petitioner submits that he is the Secretary  of  Yug<\/p>\n<p>Chetna Publication, Raipur which is the Unit of Yug Dharma<\/p>\n<p>and   applied   for  allotment  of  land  (Annexure   P-3)<\/p>\n<p>admeasuring  417138 sq.ft. situated at  Block  no.9,  plot<\/p>\n<p>no.1 x 1 at Rajbandha Talab, Civil Station, Raipur.  It is<\/p>\n<p>submitted that there was Press Complex categorized by  the <\/p>\n<p>State Government and the local Authority and various parts<\/p>\n<p>thereof  have been allotted to different pressmen.  It  is<\/p>\n<p>submitted that on receipt of the application in the office<\/p>\n<p>of   respondent  no.4\/Collector,  Raipur,   no   objection<\/p>\n<p>certificates  were  demanded and  petitioner  obtained  No<\/p>\n<p>Objection   Certificates  dated  9.7.1990  and   16.7.1990<\/p>\n<p>(Annexures  P-4  and P-5) from the concerned  authorities.<\/p>\n<p>It   is   further   submitted  that   while   petitioner&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>application  was under process, respondent  no.6  made  an<\/p>\n<p>application  to the then Chief Minister for  allotment  of<\/p>\n<p>land  for  press  complex vide letter dt.4.8.90  (Annexure<\/p>\n<p>P.10).   Then  the  said  letter was  forwarded  by  Chief<\/p>\n<p>Minister&#8217;s   Secretariat.  The   matter   was   thereafter<\/p>\n<p>processed.\n<\/p>\n<p>(3)  In para 5.8 of the writ petition,  it is stated &#8220;that<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner  was absolutely innocent and ignorant about<\/p>\n<p>the  foul  play at the hands of the respondent ignited  by<\/p>\n<p>respondent  no.6 and generated through\/by the  then  Chief<\/p>\n<p>Minister,  on  his pursuit to claim the allotment  of  the<\/p>\n<p>land for which he had lawfully applied on the basis of his<\/p>\n<p>entitlement  flowing from the long established publication<\/p>\n<p>of  the Yugdharma newspaper and when no response is  flown  <\/p>\n<p>from the end of respondent, the present petitioner started<\/p>\n<p>approaching respondents 1 to 5 independently demanding all<\/p>\n<p>the  reasons for delay in the process of allotment in  his<\/p>\n<p>favour.     The    petitioner   submitted    the    latest<\/p>\n<p>reminder\/application dated 26.2.1997  to  respondent  No.5<\/p>\n<p>vide Annexure P.14&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p>            Grounds  urged  by  the  petitioner  are  that<\/p>\n<p>hostile discrimination has been adopted and the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>has  been kept in darkness and that the allotment has been<\/p>\n<p>made illegally and contrary to law.\n<\/p>\n<p>(4)   Dr.N.K. Shukla, Addl. Advocate General for the State<\/p>\n<p>submits  that so far as allegations made against the  then<\/p>\n<p>Chief Minister are concerned, that Chief Minister has  not<\/p>\n<p>been  impleaded as party respondent and as  such,  in  the<\/p>\n<p>absence  of  he  being  joined as  party  respondent,  the<\/p>\n<p>allegations   made  against  him  do   not   require   any<\/p>\n<p>adjudication.   Even otherwise what has  been  alleged  is<\/p>\n<p>that  the office of the then  Chief Minister&#8217;s Secretariat<\/p>\n<p>forwarded  the petitioner&#8217;s letter.  Thereafter respondent<\/p>\n<p>no.6 made an application.  Shri Shukla submits that it has<\/p>\n<p>become a common practice that the letters are addressed to<\/p>\n<p>Chief Minister and other dignitaries, which is not at  all<\/p>\n<p>healthy.   However, once such letters are  received,  they<\/p>\n<p>are  required to be dealt with by the Secretariat.  It  is<\/p>\n<p>for the respective authorities to take appropriate steps.<\/p>\n<p>(5)  Dr. N.K. Shukla,. Learned Additional Advocate General<\/p>\n<p>further  submits that the main question is of  delay,  the<\/p>\n<p>allotment  has  been made on 5.08.1994 and the  petitioner<\/p>\n<p>submitted  his   letter  dated 26.02.1997  and  this  writ<\/p>\n<p>petition  has been filed on 19.9.1998  that  is   after  a<\/p>\n<p>lapse  of  considerable period.  No explanation  for  such<\/p>\n<p>delay  has  been  given and as such this petition  suffers<\/p>\n<p>from delay and laches.\n<\/p>\n<p>(6)    Dr. Shukla, further submits that according  to  the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner&#8217;s own showing the land has since been  allotted<\/p>\n<p>construction is going on, and now when rights have accrued<\/p>\n<p>in  favour  of other allottees, civil suit is  appropriate<\/p>\n<p>remedy for petitioner in view of the disputed questions of<\/p>\n<p>fact.   He  further  submits that this petition  has  been<\/p>\n<p>filed  by  the petitioner in his individual capacity,  but<\/p>\n<p>not  on  behalf  of Yug Chetna Prakashan,  the  petitioner<\/p>\n<p>wants  the land for his individual purpose rather than  as<\/p>\n<p>owner  of  the Press, therefore, no cause of  action  does<\/p>\n<p>arise in this petition.\n<\/p>\n<p>(7)    Dr.  Shukla,  learned Addl. Govt. Advocate  further<\/p>\n<p>submits that respondents 1 to 5 have filed return in which<\/p>\n<p>it  has  been  stated that Policy regarding allotment  has<\/p>\n<p>been  taken that no land exceeding 43360 sq.ft.  could  be<\/p>\n<p>allotted  to  any  press, as such the  petitioner  is  not<\/p>\n<p>entitled  to  any land exceeding 43360 sq.ft.  He  submits<\/p>\n<p>that  total land available and earmarked is 834276  sq.ft.<\/p>\n<p>whereas petitioner has applied for 417138 sq.ft. which  is<\/p>\n<p>more than half of the total land available.<\/p>\n<p>(8)     Dr. Shukla, Counsel for respondents 1 to 5 further<\/p>\n<p>submits  that while processing the case of the petitioner,<\/p>\n<p>he  was  asked to submit registration certificate  of  his<\/p>\n<p>establishment  and  the  petitioner   was  also  asked  to<\/p>\n<p>furnish the details  as to the quantum of  bank balance of<\/p>\n<p>the   petitioner    vide  order  sheet  dated   14.11.1990<\/p>\n<p>(Annexure   R-2),   but  he  did  not   give   any    such<\/p>\n<p>information. It is also submitted that he did not indicate<\/p>\n<p>whether   the   institution  Yug  Chetna   Prakashan   was<\/p>\n<p>registered  anywhere and in absence of  such   information<\/p>\n<p>the  case  being incomplete was returned by the Government <\/p>\n<p>vide   letter  dated  20.10.1995  (Annexure  R   4).   The<\/p>\n<p>respondents  submit that the petitioner has not  disclosed<\/p>\n<p>whether   the   Yug  Chetna  Prakashan  is  a   registered<\/p>\n<p>institution  and  as  the petition  filed  in   individual<\/p>\n<p>capacity  it seems that the petitioner wants the  land  in<\/p>\n<p>his individual capacity rather than as owner of the Press.<\/p>\n<p>The respondents have also filed additional return in which<\/p>\n<p>it  has  been stated that in view of Memo dated 30.06.1991<\/p>\n<p>(Annexure  R  5) it was made clear that no land  exceeding<\/p>\n<p>43360  sq.fts  could  be allotted  to  any  Press.  It  is<\/p>\n<p>submitted   that  thereafter,  the  petitioner   preferred<\/p>\n<p>application  for allotment of land, a case was  registered<\/p>\n<p>by the Nazul Officer and the proceedings were going on and<\/p>\n<p>from  the order sheets vide annexure R-6 it is clear  that<\/p>\n<p>petitioner  was  asked to furnish the details  vide  order<\/p>\n<p>dated  3.8.1990  and  when the  matter  was  taken  up  on<\/p>\n<p>14.8.1990,  petitioner sought time and on  25.8.1990  when<\/p>\n<p>the matter was taken up, petitioner was again granted time<\/p>\n<p>to  furnish  the  details in proforma.  On  18.3.1991  the<\/p>\n<p>matter was referred to the Commissioner, Raipur, for being<\/p>\n<p>forwarded to the Secretary, Revenue Department, for onward<\/p>\n<p>action.  The matter was received back by the Nazul Officer<\/p>\n<p>on 1.1.1996 from the State Government with a note that the<\/p>\n<p>application should be preferred in prescribed  format.  On<\/p>\n<p>25.1.1997 the petitioner wanted progress of the case  vide<\/p>\n<p>annexure R 7 and on the same letter it was informed to him<\/p>\n<p>that State Government had directed that application should<\/p>\n<p>be   in  prescribed proforma. On 26.2.1997 the  petitioner<\/p>\n<p>gave  a  letter asking for information as to  whether  the<\/p>\n<p>land  sought  by  the  petitioner  has  been  allotted  to<\/p>\n<p>respondent No. 6 and if it has been allotted to respondent<\/p>\n<p>No.  6 then the application in prescribed proforma was not<\/p>\n<p>required.  Learned counsel for the respondents submit that<\/p>\n<p>there  is no right as such available to the petitioner  to<\/p>\n<p>claim any relief in this petition.\n<\/p>\n<p>(9)  Heard counsel for the parties and perused the record.<\/p>\n<p>(10)   A  perusal of the order sheets (Annexure R-6)  show<\/p>\n<p>that   the  petitioner  himself  was  not  interested   in<\/p>\n<p>furnishing  the details as required by the Nazul  Officer,<\/p>\n<p>in  prescribed proforma.  On petitioner&#8217;s own  showing  he<\/p>\n<p>wrote  a  letter  on  26.2.97(Annexure-14)  to  the  Nazul<\/p>\n<p>Officer to ascertain as to whether the land applied by him<\/p>\n<p>had  been allotted to respondent no.6 and if the land  had<\/p>\n<p>been  allotted  to respondent no.6\/Dainik  Samvet  Shiker,<\/p>\n<p>then   the  application  in  prescribed  format  was   not<\/p>\n<p>required.   The petitioner thereafter did not do anything.<\/p>\n<p>Even  no notice of demand of justice was  served.   It  is<\/p>\n<p>further  stated that the order of allotment was passed  on<\/p>\n<p>5.8.1994,   possession   was   delivered    by   22.8.1994<\/p>\n<p>petitioner has submitted his letter on 26.2.1997 and  this<\/p>\n<p>petition has been filed on 19.9.1998 that is after   lapse<\/p>\n<p>of  long  time and no explanation has been given for  such<\/p>\n<p>long  delay.   It  is  also pointed out  that  during  the<\/p>\n<p>intervening  period,  five  institutions  have  also  been<\/p>\n<p>allotted    land in block no.9 of the press  complex,  but<\/p>\n<p>none  of  them have been impleaded as parties. Though  the<\/p>\n<p>parties   i.e.  State  through  the  Principal  Secretary,<\/p>\n<p>Revenue Dept. Bhopal; the Director, Public Relations Dept.<\/p>\n<p>Bhopal; the Commissioner, Raipur, have been joined, but no<\/p>\n<p>notice  of  demand  of  justice  has  been  served.   Even<\/p>\n<p>respondent No.5 the Nazul Officer and respondent no.6, the<\/p>\n<p>Chief  Executive, Daily Samvet Shikher,  Raipur  were  not<\/p>\n<p>served the notice of demand of justice.\n<\/p>\n<p>(11) Present petition is in the personal capacity and  not<\/p>\n<p>as  Secretary of Yugchetan Prakashan.  It is  pointed  out<\/p>\n<p>that  even  in this application,  prayer for allotment  of<\/p>\n<p>the  land   has  been  made on behalf of  the  Yug  Chetna<\/p>\n<p>Prakashan and it was not for  the petitioner.  Respondents<\/p>\n<p>have   filed   order  sheets  containing  the  proceedings<\/p>\n<p>recorded  by  the  Nazul Officer. The  order  sheet  dated<\/p>\n<p>3.8.90 has been referred to where certain information  was<\/p>\n<p>asked  as  to   &#8220;whether  the  Yugdharm  was   registered,<\/p>\n<p>whether  they have their own sources&#8221;  It is stated   that<\/p>\n<p>this  information was never submitted and again  time  was<\/p>\n<p>sought.  Then  the matter was referred  to  the  Dept.  of<\/p>\n<p>Revenue, State Government of M.P. and  the Government  has  <\/p>\n<p>directed  that the information in proforma be called  for.<\/p>\n<p>From  the order sheet dated 1.1.1996 it is clear that  the<\/p>\n<p>applicant  has  been informed to furnish  the  details  in<\/p>\n<p>prescribed  proforma  -`A&#8217;   In  the  order  sheet`  dated<\/p>\n<p>20.3.1997,  it  was noted that the case of the  petitioner<\/p>\n<p>was    forwarded  and  considered  and  accordingly,   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner  was  informed  the  decision  of  the  Revenue<\/p>\n<p>Department, State of M.P.  for allotment of land measuring<\/p>\n<p>43360 in Block No.9, Plot No. 1\/1.      It is also pointed<\/p>\n<p>out  that there was a policy and according to that  policy<\/p>\n<p>it  was only 43360 sq. ft. which could be allotted whereas<\/p>\n<p>the  claim of petitioner was for  417000 sq.ft.   of  land<\/p>\n<p>which  is  more than half of the total land available  and<\/p>\n<p>earmarked.\n<\/p>\n<p>     (12)  In  support of his contention, learned  counsel<\/p>\n<p>for  the respondents relied on a judgment of Supreme Court<\/p>\n<p>reported in  (1986) 4  SCC 566 (State of M.P.  -v- Nandlal<\/p>\n<p>Jaiswal  and others) wherein the Apex Court  has  held  as<\/p>\n<p>follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>          &#8220;The  power  of  the  High  Court  to  issue  an<br \/>\n     appropriate  writ under article 226 is  discretionary<br \/>\n     and  the High Court in the exercise of its discretion<br \/>\n     does not ordinarily assist the tardy and the indolent<br \/>\n     or  the acquiescent and the lethargic. Where there is<br \/>\n     inordinate  and  unexplained delay  and  third  party<br \/>\n     rights are created in the intervening period the High<br \/>\n     Court  would decline to interfere even if  the  State<br \/>\n     action  complained of is unconstitutional or  illegal<br \/>\n     because  the Courts interference is likely  to  cause<br \/>\n     confusion and public inconvenience and bring  in  new<br \/>\n     injustices.  However, there may be a few cases, where<br \/>\n     the  demand of justice is so compelling that the High<br \/>\n     Court would be inclined to interfere inspite of delay<br \/>\n     or  creation  of third party rights.  Ultimately,  it<br \/>\n     would be a matter within the discretion of the Court.<br \/>\n     Ex-hypothesi  every  discretion  must  be   exercised<br \/>\n     fairly and justly so as to promote justice and not to<br \/>\n     defeat it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>     Regarding delay and laches, learned counsel  for  the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner    relied  on  a  judgment  of  Supreme   Court<\/p>\n<p>reported in  (1979) 3 SCC 489 (Ramana Dayaram Shetty &#8211;  Vs  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211;  International Airport Authority of India and  Others  .<\/p>\n<p>The relevant portion of the said judgment reads as under:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>     &#8220;Moreover  the  writ  petition  was  filed   by   the<br \/>\n     appellant more than 5 months after the acceptance  of<br \/>\n     the  tender of respondents 4 and during this  period,<br \/>\n     respondents   4  incurred  considerable   expenditure<br \/>\n     aggregating   to   about  Rs.1,25,000\/-   in   making<br \/>\n     arrangements  for putting up the restaurant  and  the<br \/>\n     snack  bars  and  in fact set up the snack  bars  and<br \/>\n     started  running  the same.  It  would  now  be  most<br \/>\n     inequitous  to set aside the contracts of respondents<br \/>\n     4  at  the  instances of the appellant.  The position<br \/>\n     would  have been different if the appellant had filed<br \/>\n     the writ petition immediately after the acceptance of<br \/>\n     the tender of respondents 4 but the appellant allowed<br \/>\n     a  period  of  over 5 months to elapse  during  which<br \/>\n     respondents  4  altered  their  position.   We   are,<br \/>\n     therefore, of the view that this is not a fit case in<br \/>\n     which  we  should interfere and grant relief  to  the<br \/>\n     appellant  in  the  exercise of our discretion  under<br \/>\n     Articles 226 of the Constitution.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                                       (Emphasissupplied)<\/p>\n<p>(13)    It  has  already  been noted  that  although  some<\/p>\n<p>allegations    have  been  made  regarding   conduct   and<\/p>\n<p>involvement of the  then Chief Minister, but as the  Chief<\/p>\n<p>Minister has not been joined as party respondent and  even<\/p>\n<p>notice  for demand of justice has not been served  and  no<\/p>\n<p>material regarding those allegations have come on  record,<\/p>\n<p>detailed discussion and adjudication on this aspect is not<\/p>\n<p>required.    Even otherwise, it is pointed  out  that  the<\/p>\n<p>office  of Chief Minister&#8217;s Secretariat has forwarded  the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner&#8217;s letter and thereafter respondent no.6 himself<\/p>\n<p>submitted the application in prescribed proforma  and  the<\/p>\n<p>matter  was processed and the State has informed that  the<\/p>\n<p>land  has  been allotted as per the policy which they  had<\/p>\n<p>and that policy was in existence for about 18 years, which<\/p>\n<p>was made known to every body. The petitioner ought to have<\/p>\n<p>made  suitable  application in  prescribed  proforma  this<\/p>\n<p>petition is also not on behalf of the organization, but on<\/p>\n<p>behalf of an individual.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(14)  Dr.N.K.Shukla, counsel for the State submitted  that<\/p>\n<p>the  State has no malice towards any person, now  the  new<\/p>\n<p>State  of  Chhattisgarh  has been  formed  and  the  State<\/p>\n<p>Government  of Chattisgarh has no malice.
