Mr. Hemant Gupta, J.: - This order shall dispose of three writ petitions bearing CWP Nos.12933, 19680 of 2001 and 1552 of 2002 wherein the petitioners are disputing the rate of allotment of plots at Rs.3750/- per square yard. The claim of the petitioners is that the rate of allotment should have been Rs.1200/- per square yard.

2. Since the issues are common in all the three writ petitions, therefore, all the petitions are taken up and being decided together. However for the facility of reference, the facts are being taken from CWP No.12933 of 2001 wherein the petitioner purchased registration of allotment of a plot from one Raj Mal who applied for a 10 marla plot in the year 1983-84 and was granted registration No.120 SC. The transfer in his favour was allowed. The petitioner was informed on 29.04.1997 (Annexure P-3) that draw of lots in respect of pending applications would be conducted in which the petitioner was called upon to furnish identification documents and also to furnish an affidavit that he or his family does not own any plot, house or flat in Mohali. It was also mentioned that allotment shall be made as per the new rates which are as follows:-

a) upto 100 sq.
