WPMS No.1970/2011 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Heard Sri Neeraj Garg, the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Rahul Consul, the learned counsel for the respondents. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the parties, the Court finds that the order under section 28(1) of the U.P. Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973 was passed by respondent No.2, on the basis of which, the construction work had been stopped. This order was passed on 16th September, 2010. In response to the said order, the petitioner had appeared and filed his objection and at one stage, had applied for compounding. The Court finds that whatever proceedings have been initiated by the authority must come to its logical conclusion and should not be allowed to be prolonged for one reason or the other. If the petitioner is not cooperating in the proceedings, it is open to the respondents to pass a final order, but merely passing an order for stopping the development work does not make the matter come to an end finally. In the light of the aforesaid, the petition is disposed of with a direction to the authority to conclude the proceedings initiated under the Act of 1973 within three months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order.
