respondents are not considering their claim for undisclosed reasons. It is alleged that the respondents have allotted plots to ineligible persons who are not entitled to such allotment. Against such alleged allotment, the petitioners have made a representation-cum-complaint dated 10.08.2015 to the Deputy Commissioner, Fatehabad but finding no response thereto, the petitioners have approached this Court.

¶22

Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and taking into consideration the fact that the petitioners have placed reliance on a Government Policy which, according to them, has not been given effect in its true letter and spirit, we dispose of this writ petition, without expressing any views on the merits, with a direction to respondent nos.2 to 4 to verify the claim of the petitioners as contained in their representation-cum-complaint dated 10.08.2015 (P-3) 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. No decision adverse to the interest of allottees shall be taken without giving them opportunity of hearing.
