Ms. Shruti Jain, AAG, Haryana for respondent no.1. Mr. Amit Sharma, Advocate for respondents no.2 to 4. RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral) This order shall dispose of Civil Writ Petition Nos.9208, 9499 and 10464 of 2009, as they involve adjudication of identical questions of law and fact. For the sake of convenience, facts are being taken from CWP No.9208 of 2009. The petitioners lay challenge to a show cause notice dated 14.05.2009, on the plea that in the absence of any development in the area, the petitioners cannot be charged non- construction fee and or imposed penalty of resumption of the plot. Admittedly, the petitioners have not filed any reply to the Civil Writ Petition No.9208 of 2009 -2- show cause notice but have approached this Court directly. It would, however, be necessary to notice that during pendency of this petition, some of the petitioners have pursuant, to order dated 02.07.2009 deposited non-construction charges in terms of clause-14 of the allotment letter. In view of the pendency of the Show Cause notice, the petitioners are relegated to their remedy of filing a reply to the show cause notice. In case such a reply is filed, it shall be considered and decided by the authority concerned, in accordance with law, within a month of the receipt of a certified copy of this order. In case, the matter is decided against the petitioners, the order so passed, shall be kept in abeyance for 30 days to enable the petitioners to file an appeal. Disposed of accordingly.
