Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned standing counsel for the State-respondents and Shri A.P. Paul, learned counsel for the Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA). 2. The instant writ petition has been preferred for direction in nature of mandamus commanding to the respondents that of they provide the possession allotted E.W.S. House Flat. No.-234 Yamuna Enclave Mauza Jalalpur Ghosi, Tehsil Sadar, District Prayagraj immediately to the petitioner. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the Government of India has implemented the Prime Minister Awas Yojana (Urban) to provide housing to economically weaker sections, and under this scheme, residential units were developed in "Yamuna Enclave," Village Jalalpur Ghosi, Tehsil Sadar, District Prayagraj. The petitioner, an eligible poor lady living on rent, applied online (Application No. 12200214 dated 24.12.2020) with all required documents and was allotted House No. S-234 through a lottery on 21.09.2021. On 22.02.2025, PDA informed that the allotment letter had returned undelivered and asked her to collect it. She was directed to deposit Rs.54,000/-, which she did on 25.02.2025, yet the allotment letter was not handed over. Eventually, on 01.04.2025, she received an allotment letter dated 26.12.2024 demanding a deposit of Rs.25,000/- by 01.05.2025 and the remaining in five instalments, failing which interest at 13% would be charged. These conditions are arbitrary, unjust, and contrary to the scheme's policy. 4. Shri A.P. Paul, learned counsel for the Prayagraj Development Authority, submits that the conditions mentioned in the brochure and the allotment letter govern the rights and obligations of the allottee. He further states that if the petitioner is found eligible in accordance with the scheme and relevant guidelines, her grievance shall be appropriately addressed. 5. Considering the nature of the relief sought, and keeping in view that the petitioner belongs to the economically weaker section and that the allotment was made under the Prime Minister Awas Yojana (Urban), we are of the view that the grievance raised by the petitioner deserves prompt consideration. Accordingly, it is directed that the petitioner's grievance shall be examined and appropriate decision be taken by the competent authority in accordance with law and the applicable scheme within a period of three weeks from the date of presentation of a certified copy of this order. 6. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 31.7.2025 NLY Digitally signed by :- NAND LAL YADAV High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
