Eqbal, J. <\/p>\n<p> 1. Heard Mr. R. Krishna, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. Rajiv Ranjan, learned counsel for the respondent-Steel Authority of India Limited.\n<\/p>\n<p> 2. Petitioners have filed this writ application seeking issuance of writ of mandamus commanding upon the respondents mainly respondent No. 2, Managing Director, Steel Authority of India Limited, Bokaro Steel Plant, Bokaro to release 210 acres of land to the Bokaro Steel Employees Co- operative House Construction Society Limited for developing housing colony for 351 non-plot holders employees of the aforesaid society.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. Petitioners&#8217; case is that respondents took resolution dated 8.5.1973 for<br \/>\nallotment of 210 acres of land to the<br \/>\nSociety. It is contended by the petitioners<br \/>\nthat since 1973 petitioners have been approaching the respondent authority for<br \/>\nrelease of 210 acres of land but the same<br \/>\nhas not been released. Respondents in their<br \/>\ncounter affidavit challenged the authority of<br \/>\nthe petitioners to file writ petition inasmuch<br \/>\nthey do not represent the Co- operative<br \/>\nSociety. It is stated that even if any resolution or commitment was made by the<br \/>\nrespondents in 1973, the same can be enforced only by filing suit for specific<br \/>\nperformance.\n<\/p>\n<p> 4. After considering the affidavit filed by the parties and also hearing argument of the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the opinion that the relief sought for by the petitioners is wholly misconceived and the writ application is belated one. This Court cannot issue mandamus for the enforcement of any resolution and\/or commitment made by the respondents for allotment of land in favour of the society.\n<\/p>\n<p> 5. There is no merit in this writ application, which is accordingly dismissed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jharkhand High Court Ramhari Lal Srivastava And Ors. vs Steel Authority Of India Ltd.
