The Rajasthan High Court has ordered the mayor and senior officials of a municipal body to appear after a resident waited 43 years for a plot despite depositing the required amount.
A resident of Rajasthan who deposited the full amount for a government‑allocated plot more than four decades ago has approached the High Court after the promised land was never handed over. The petitioner claims that despite paying the required sum 43 years ago, the municipal authority has not allotted the plot, prompting a legal challenge.
The Rajasthan High Court, hearing the petition, directed the municipal president and the officer in charge of land allocation to appear before the bench. The court set a specific date for their appearance and warned that non‑compliance could lead to contempt proceedings or further judicial intervention.
Land‑allocation delays have been a recurring issue in several Rajasthan municipalities, often leading to public frustration and legal battles. By summoning the officials, the court aims to enforce accountability and ensure that the pending plot is either allotted promptly or the petitioner is compensated as per law.
The municipal body has not yet issued a public statement on the court's order. The case underscores the broader challenges faced by citizens awaiting government‑assigned housing plots, especially when procedural lapses extend over decades.
