2.

Material on record discloses that the Petitioner has given representation to the Respondents on 05.04.2017 and 17.04.2017 praying for initiation of 20-Point Programme and schemes for allotment of residential sites to the poor people. It is stated that the said representation has yet not been decided by the Respondents.

3.

Material on record indicates that on 06.10.2017, the representation of the Petitioner has been considered and rejected on the ground that at present there is no policy to allot government land to any individual/institution/Society/NGO etc. It has also been stated that though lands were being allotted to land-less people under the Scheme prevailing at that time but now since all the land has been allotted to the DDA there is no land available for implementing the Scheme.

4.

In view of the above, this Court is not in a position to proceed further with the matter.

5.

Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the Government that in case a fresh scheme is introduced for the purpose of allotment of land to the land-less then the case of the Petitioner be considered. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
