It is the case of the petitioner that subsequently, rules have been amended vide notification dated 01.09.2008 and all such category II licencees, such as the petitioner, become eligible for allotment. The amended rule contemplated that all those dealers, who have licence for four years on the date of inviting applications for draw of lots, are eligible for allotment of plots. Since the petitioner is a licencee since 14.06.2001 and the date for draw of lots was 16.08.2005, therefore, in terms of amended conditions of eligibility, the petitioner is eligible for allotment of a plot. Similar controversy arose before this Court in CWP No. 13024 of 2009 titled “M/s Chandgi Ram Ram Niwas and others Vs. Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board and others” decided on 11.11.2010. The said writ petition was allowed. Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that the LPA and the SLP against the said judgment stand dismissed. Learned counsel for the respondents has argued that the petitioner is not eligible being a licencee of the year 2001 and thus, his case is at par with the petitioner in CWP No.14153 of 2009 titled “ M/s Deepak Kumar Baru Ram (Prop.) and another Vs. Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board and others ”, which was dismissed vide the same order.
