1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?

2. To be referred to the Reporters or not?

3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the Ludhiana Improvement Trust to allot him residential plot of 500 square yards under the '475 Acres Scheme'. The claim is founded on the premise that the land owned by the petitioner's deceased-father was acquired by the State Government for implementation of the above-mentioned Scheme, on 28.06.1979. Thereafter, applications were invited from the 'local displaced persons' for allotment of residential plots and the petitioner's father also applied on 30.06.1982 alongwith earnest money of Rs.1000/- vide receipt dated 07.07.1982 (P-2). The factual story then jumps to the year 2006 as according to the petitioner, his father was asked to provide some documents on 17.07.2006 and such a requirement was duly complied with. After the year 2006, it was on 05.01.2015 when the petitioner made a representation (P-4) followed by a MOHINDER KUMAR 2015.11.05 11:49 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

CWP No.23006 of 2015 [2] legal notice dated 18.09.2015 (P-5).

In CWP No.8775 of 2014 (Gurnam Singh versus State of Punjab and another) decided on 08.05.2014, we have already taken a view that the directions issued hitherto shall not be construed as if we have condoned the delay. We further cautioned the authorities that if they decide to consider or accept the belated claim, the allotment in that case shall be made at the current allotment price only. Such a view having been taken in similar circumstances, the instant writ petition is also disposed of in terms of the order passed in Gurnam Singh's case (supra).

Ordered accordingly.

Dasti.
