Present:

Mr. J.S. Bhatia, Advocate, for the petitioner. ARUN PALLI, J (Oral) The petitioner has prayed for the following substantive relief: Civil Writ Petition under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India praying for issuance of an appropriate writ, order or direction as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit in the facts and circumstances of the case, especially in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to update the information in respect of Plot No.234, Urban Estate, Sector 7, Panchkula in column "Allottee Name" on HSVP Portal as per certificate dated 07.02.1983 (Annexure P-9) and as the registered conveyance deed dated 01.10.1982 (Annexure P-8) in favour of the petitioner - Dr. Mrs. Rama Anand which is a public document in the interest of justice.

AND/OR In alternate, direct the respondents to consider and decide the claim made out in the legal notice dated 13.04.2023 (Annexure P-20) by passing a well reasoned and speaking order within the specified time and in the event of acceptance of claim, do the needful within two weeks thereafter." At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that prior to the institution of this petition, the petitioner had even served the

respondent authorities with the legal notice dated 13.04.2024 (P-20), but to no avail.

Served with the advance copy of the petition, Mr. Deepak Sabherwal, Advocate, is present in Court on behalf of respondents-HSVP. At the outset, he, on instructions, submits, for the competent authority is already in seisin of the matter, it would be expedient if the petition is disposed of, at this stage, to enable the competent authority to deal with the concerns/grievances of the petitioner. And pass necessary orders, on her legal notice (ibid) in accordance with law. He submits that before any such order is passed, the petitioner would also be heard. Learned counsel for petitioners is agreeable to the course suggested by the learned counsel for the respondents-HSVP and submits that let this petition be disposed of in view of the statement made by him. However, he submits that the matter being time sensitive the competent authority be directed to consider and finally decide the matter within a specified time.

To this, learned counsel for the respondents-HSVP submits that the competent authority would make every possible endeavour to decide the matter, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within eight weeks from today.

In the wake of the position sketched out above, and in terms of the statement made by learned counsel for the parties, this petition is accordingly disposed of.

This Court is sanguine that the authorities shall consider/examine the matter in the right earnest. And pass appropriate

orders, within the time indicated by learned counsel for the respondentsHSVP, assigning reasons in support thereof. Needless to assert that this order shall not constitute an expression of opinion on the merits of the case of either party, for, as indicated earlier, the competent authority shall examine the grievances of the petitioners, strictly in accordance with law.
