CWP No.24377 of 2015 [2] decided to allot plots of 100 square yards. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he is fully eligible for such allotment under the 'Mahatma Gandhi Gramin Basti Yojna' which the State Government decided to implement vide Policy memo dated 29.05.2008 (P-1) but the respondents are not considering his claim for undisclosed reasons. It is alleged that the respondents have allotted plots to ineligible persons who are not entitled to such allotment. It further appears from the averments that an exercise to identify the eligible persons was undertaken and the petitioner was included in such list but no follow up action has been taken by the Deputy Commissioner, Gurgaon or the Gram Panchayat.

Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has placed reliance on a Government Policy which, according to him, has not been given effect, we dispose of this writ petition, without expressing any views on the merits, with a direction to respondent nos.2, 3 and 5 to verify the claim of the petitioner as contained in this petition and take an appropriate decision in accordance with law, within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly.

Dasti.
