JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NARESH KUMAR SANGHI Present:Mr. M.K.Sood, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Arun Walia, Advocate for the respondents. RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral) The petitioner lays challenge to an order of resumption dated 02.11.2001, passed under Section 17 of the Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1977 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Act'). Counsel for the petitioner submits that the order of resumption is a nullity as the letter of intent has been cancelled without issuance of a regular letter of allotment. It is further submitted that as the petitioner deposited the balance consideration only after issuance of a regular letter of allotment, Civil Writ Petition No.4397 of 2009 -2- the impugned order is null and void. Counsel for the Haryana Urban Development Authority submits that as the impugned order is appealable, the petitioner should be relegated to his alternative remedy of filing an appeal. We have heard counsel for the parties and perused the paper book. An order of resumption passed under Section 17 of the Act is admittedly appealable. The petitioner has not availed the alternative remedies prescribed under the Act. Consequently, the petitioner is relegated to his alternative remedy of filing an appeal. In case, such an appeal is filed within six weeks from today, it shall be considered and decided on merits, within three months. (RAJIVE BHALLA) JUDGE October 13, 2011 (NARESH KUMAR SANGHI) nt JUDGE
