HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.17094 of 2007 ORDER: The mother of the petitioner was allotted a house through proceedings, dated 16.03.1988, constructed for economically weaker section by the authority. The cost of the house was to be paid in quarterly instalments of Rs.501/-. Default of certain instalments was committed. The petitioner submits that on 25.08.2005, the balance of the consideration, being Rs.20,040/-, was paid. The respondent issued an endorsement dated 18.07.2007, requiring the petitioner to pay a sum of Rs.67,172/- as penalty and Rs.13,350/- for delayed registration charges. The petitioner complains that there is no basis for the respondent to levy the said amounts. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for the respondent. The allotment was made way back in the year 1988 and the consideration was cleared by the year 2005. In case the agreement between the parties provides for levy of any penalty, the relevant clause is to be mentioned. The petitioner submitted a representation on 13.07.2007 with a request to waive the penal interest and pending penal charges. The respondent has not passed any orders so far, obviously, because the writ petition is pending. Even now the respondent has not filed any counter-affidavit also. This Court finds it difficult to express any final opinion, unless the version of the respondent is before this Court. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, dated 13.07.2007, and pass orders within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. To avoid further delay, the petitioner shall enclose a copy of her representation along with a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:24.03.2011 GJ
