ORDER

This writ petition is filed to challenge letters dated 30.07.2018 and 22.10.2019 issued by Lahore Development Authority.

2. It is the case of the petitioner that she was allotted two exempted plots by the respondents i.e. Plot No. 865 and Plot No. 866. It is stated that allotment letter in respect of Plot No. 866 was issued to the petitioner whereas the respondents instead of Plot No. 865 allotted Plot No. 404, Block K, M.A.

Johar Town Scheme, Lahore vide letter dated 22.10.2019.

3. Learned counsel for LDA submits that Plot No. 865, Block-Q was inadvertently allotted to a third party which plot has since been transferred three times to different persons. He submits that an alternate plot (No. 404) was accordingly allotted to the petitioner. He has also referred to clause 6 of allocation letter dated 31.07.1998 according to which the allocation of Plot No. 865 was tentative allocation which would not confer any right of exemption till such time the exemption letter is issued and possession of the plot is delivered to the petitioner. It was accordingly contended that the petitioner had no right over Plot No. 865.

4. The petitioner has already been allotted Plot No. 404 in lieu of Plot No. 865 by the respondents.

Plot No. 865 has already been transferred thrice in the name of different persons. It is, therefore, not possible for this Court to direct the respondents to allot Plot No. 865 to the petitioner. By virtue of clause 6 of Allocation letter dated 31.07.1998, the petitioner even otherwise had no right over the said plot.

5. This writ petition being devoid of any merit is accordingly dismissed.
