JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. Jagjeet Beniwal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Pattar, DAG, Haryana for the State. RANJIT SINGH J. Counsel for the parties agree that the issue raised in the writ petition would be squarely covered by the decision of this Court in CWP No. 1122 of 2003 decided on 06.12.2010. The said writ petition was disposed of with the following observations: (1) All cases of allotment prior to framing of statutory rules dated 10.3.2000 shall be governed by the contract. Under the contract, there is no condition or covenant that the liability to pay interest, penal interest shall be dependent upon providing facilities/amenities. Such of the allottees who were allotted plots prior to 10.3.2000 are liable to pay interest and penalty, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the allotment letter. (2) Such of the allottees who were allotted plots after 2000 are liable to pay interest and penal interest from the date offer of possession was made. The possession is to be offered from the date of basic facilities, like roads, Civil Writ Petition No. 19731 of 2009 -2- water supply, electrification are made available. Thus, the liability to pay interest under the statutory provisions becomes payable from the date basic facilities are provided and possession is offered. (3) In so far as the liability to pay extension fee is concerned, at the time of allotment of plots in the year 1988, there was no provision either in the contract or any statutory provision for payment of extension fee. Extension fee for the first time came to be introduced vide policy decision dated 29.4.1998 and thus the extension fee becomes payable only in respect of plots where construction has not been carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions of aforementioned policy dated 29.4.1998. The present writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of in the same terms. February 02, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
