Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, Shri Devesh Vikram, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State-respondent, and Mrs. Anjali Upadhya, learned counsel appearing for the Authority. 2. The present writ petition has been filed seeking a direction in the nature of mandamus to the respondent authorities to allot a 10% residential plot in the development area, in terms of the Full Bench decision of this Court in Gajraj v. State of U.P. and Others, 2011 (11) ADJ-I. 3. At the very outset, learned counsel for the petitioners states that identical controversy had already been settled by this Court in Soukeen and another v. State of U.P. and another (Writ- C No. 20526 of 2025, dt. 3.7.2025) and the writ petition was disposed of in terms of the judgment rendered in Balraj Singh and 21 Others v. State of U.P. and 3 Others (Writ-C No. 9496 of 2025, dated 2.4.2025). As such, it is pressed that the instant matter is squarely covered with the aforesaid judgment and the writ petition may also be disposed of in the light of Soukeen and another (supra). 4. So far as the factual and legal aspect of the matter, the same is not disputed by the learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel as well as counsel for the Development Authority. 5. Having regard to the facts of the case and the submissions made, we dispose of the instant petition in terms of Soukeen and another (supra). The respondent- Development Authority is directed to pass a reasoned and speaking order on the claim of the petitioner, keeping in view the facts of the case and relevant legal precedents, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this order.
