¶13

Learned Counsel for the Petitioner states that the Petitioner is a member of the Sant Tulsi Dass Cooperative Group Housing Society Ltd having Membership No. 316. He states the Respondent No. 1 has cleared the file of Respondent No. 4 (Hemant Aggarwal) for allotment having Membership No. 355. He states that Respondents No. 1& 2 are acting in an arbitrary manner and have overlooked the seniority of the Petitioner while allotting the flat. He states that the seniority and priority of the petitioner has been superseded without any rhyme or reason.

¶14

Upon a perusal of the paper book, this Court finds that the petitioner’s earlier writ petition being W.P.(C) No. 836/2011 was disposed of by this Court specifically recording that there has been gross delay and laches on the part of the petitioner in agitating her claims. It was, however, directed that the if the petitioner is entitled to a flat and a flat is available, the matter may be examined at the end of the RCS. Consequently, the petitioner’s writ petition was directed to be treated as a ‘mercy’ petition and she was virtually directed to be placed at the ‘bottom of the ladder’ due to her conduct.

¶15

Learned counsel for the respondents have also brought to the notice of this Court, the order dated 10^th October, 2012 passed by the RCS wherein it was specifically recorded that complaints had been filed by some of the members, including the petitioner, as they had not paid the demands raised against them by the cooperative society.

¶16

Consequently, this Court is of the view that no ground for stay of handing over of possession of flat to respondent No.4 is made out. However, as the petitioner has made a representation dated 16^th January, 2024 to the respondents, this Court disposes of the present writ petition by directing the RCS to decide the said representation in accordance with law
