1. It is contended by the petitioners that certain plots were allotted to the petitioners amongst others by the Municipal Corporation way back in the year 1999 and the petitioners are claiming allotment either to them or through their predecessors-in-title in respect of those plots. It is submitted that though the plots were allotted by the Municipal Corporation, certain complaint was filed which was referred to

Economic Offences Wing (EOW) and even after enquiry was conducted by the EOW, no illegality was found. Thereafter, till date, the allotment of land and execution of lease deeds in favour of the petitioners is awaited. Learned counsel submits that as and when the representation were made by the petitioners, it was replied that the issue is pending at the end of the State Government. He would submit that they are concerned with the Municipal Corporation, as such, the Municipal Corporation may be directed to decide the representations filed by them.

2. Counsel for respondents 2 & 3 the Municipal Corporation would submit that they have forwarded the issue to the State Government and it is the State Government to take the decision.

3. Without going into the merits of the case, since the petitioners claim that the representations made to the Commissioner Municipal Corporation may be decided on either way and as the documents would show that representations were made in the year 2018, the petitioners are given liberty to make a fresh detailed representation(s) to the Commissioner Municipal Corporation Bhilai within a period of 3 weeks and if such representations are filed, the same would be decided within a further period of 45 days at any rate. It is further made clear that this Court has not made any observation on merits over the entitlement of the petitioners to the allotment.

4. With the above observations, this writ petition stands disposed off. Sd/- GOUTAM BHADURI JUDGE Rao
