Panchayat decided to allot plots of 100 square yards. The petitioners allege that though they are fully eligible for allotment under the 'Mahatma Gandhi Gramin Basti Yojna' which the State Government decided to implement vide Policy memo dated 01.12.2008 but for the reasons best known to them, the respondents are not considering their claim. It further appears from their averments that the eligible persons were identified and the petitioners were included in such list but no follow up action has been taken by the Deputy Commissioner, Faridabad or the Gram Panchayat. The petitioners are said to have in this regard represented the Deputy Commissioner, Faridabad on 03.07.2015 (P-2) but finding no response thereto, have approached this Court.
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, we dispose of this writ petition, without expressing any views on the merits, with a direction to respondent no.2 to verify the claim of the petitioners as contained in their representation dated 03.07.2015 (P-2) 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.
