T.S.THAKUR, KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA
Keshav Kumar Bansal – Appellant
Versus
State Of Haryana – Respondent
Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J.
1. Three writ petitions filed in this Court, question the allotment of industrial plots in Industrial Estate, Bhiwani to the successful allottees, on the ground that the same are vitiated by nepotism, favouritism and total lack of a fair and transparent procedure that could ensure fairness and objectivity. It is alleged that the successful allottees are relatives/friends and protigi of politicians and bureaucrats. They had, therefore, succeeded in getting the allotment, not on the basis of merit but. because authorities allowed them to steal march over the better candidates available. This, according to the petitioners, amounts to distribution of largesse, as the recipient of plots were less meritorious and no comparative criteria to evaluate claim of all those, who applied for allotment of plots, has been followed. It is prayed that since the entire allotment stands vitiated, the allotment letters issued be cancelled and an inquiry be ordered.
2. Petitioners challenge to the mode of allotment, questioning the procedure followed by the authorities, makes it imperative for us to first notice the broad parameters laid by the Honble Supreme Court
