IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.8711 of 2007 Date of decision: February 12, 2009. M/s Sonu Printing Press Pvt. Ltd. ...Petitioner(s) v. Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. & Anr. ...Respondent(s) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Shri Ashok Kumar Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mrs. Neena Madan, Advocate, for Shri Raghujeet Singh Madan, Advocate for the respondents. ORDER Surya Kant, J. - (Oral): The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 12.1.2005 whereby allotment of industrial plot No.310, Sector 8 IMT, Manesar has been cancelled. Vide Regular Letter of Allotment (RLA) dated 24.5.2004 (Annexure P-2), the petitioner was allotted plot measuring 1012.50 sq. meters bearing No.257 in Sector 8 IMT, Manesar @ Rs.2200/- per sq. mtr. The petitioner was required to make payment of 25% of the price within 30 days which could be further extended for another 30 days subject to payment of 15% of the cost of the plot along with interest @ 11% per annum for the delayed period. Vide letter dated 26.7.2004 (Annexure P-4), the respondent- Corporation informed the petitioner that the allotment committee in its meeting held on 7.6.2004 had changed the plot number from 257 to 310 in the same Sector and of the same size. The petitioner was further informed that, “the RLA dated 24.5.2004, therefore, may be treated as issued in respect of plot No.310, Sector 8, IMT Manesar”. The other terms and conditions were to remain unchanged. The petitioner was further directed “to deposit 15% price of the plot immediately along with interest @ 11% p.a. From 22.6.2004 till the date of payment and also submit acceptance of RLA and the agreement...”. The petitioner complied with the above mentioned letter, however, in part as it did not pay interest @ 11% p.a. from 22.6.2004. The non-deposit of interest component by the petitioner led to the cancellation of the allotment. It appears that the petitioner preferred an appeal and agreed before the appellate authority to accept fresh allotment at the enhanced rate of Rs.3700/- per sq. meter as against the previous rate of Rs.2200/- per square meter. On 30.5.2007 as well as during the course of hearing, learned counsel submits that the petitioner is ready and willing to accept the allotment at the enhanced rate of Rs.3700/- per square meter. Since the petitioner is now ready and willing to accept the allotment at the rate demanded by the respondent/appellate authority during the hearing of appeal, there appears to be no legal impediment against renewal of the petitioner's allotment at the aforesaid rate. Consequently, the writ petition is allowed; the impugned resumption order is set aside and the respondents are directed to regularize the petitioner's allotment at the enhanced rate of Rs.3700/- per square meter as per the condition imposed on him by the appellate authority. The renewed allotment shall be subject to the petitioner paying all the dues within six weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. February 12, 2009. [ Surya Kant ] kadyan Judge
