The petitioner is a firm carrying on business as builders, colonizers and contractors. The petitioner is the owner of 24.45 acres of vacant land situated in s village. Being engaged in construction activities it made an application under the provisions for the grant of licence for group housing scheme. This application was submitted by the petitioner on July 21, 1983 without necessary documents. After several representations the Director of Town and Country Planning Department replied that it was proposed to grant licence to the petitioner for setting up of Group Housing Colony. The petitioner was called upon to fulfil the conditions laid down in the rules within a period of 30 days from the date of service of that notice. The agreement was required to be executed on non-judicial stamp paper of Rs 3. The petitioner was also called upon to execute a bank guarantee for Rs 109.30 lakhs. On a request made by the petitioner for extension of time for furnishing the bank guarantee, time was extended (vide letter dated April 5, 1984) by four weeks. A further extension was prayed by the petitioner that was also granted on July 5, 1984 granting a further extension by four weeks. On October 19, 1984, while returning the estimates for development and service plans, respondent 2 (Director of Town and Country Planning) for 24.45 acres, the petitioner was directed to submit the estimate only for 21.15 acres. On receipt of this letter, the petitioner wrote on November 14, 1984 that the external development charges which were demanded by respondent 2 might be reduced in view of the reduction in the area. This request of the petitioner was not acceded to by the Director. The petitioner was called upon to execute an agreement under bank guarantee as already asked for. After some lapse of time, on December 12, 1987, the petitioner explained the circumstances under which he could not arrange for the bank guarantee of Rs 109.30 lakhs earlier. The bankers were willing to provide a bank guarantee for Rs 109.30 lakhs within 30 days of his intimating them to do so. It was also stated that he was willing to abide by all the directions and conditions which had been prescribed by respondent 2. Again, on September 26, 1988, October 11, 1988, January 2, 1989 and January 7, 1989, the request was rejected for the revival of the sanction and agreeing to comply with the rules and conditions. On September 25, 1989, the petitioner was informed that it is a request for grant of a licence which was refused since it had failed to fulfil the conditions laid down under Rule 11 within the stipulated/extended period. Upon receipt of this letter, the petitioner filed a memorandum to the Governor on May 4, 1991 since the State was under President's rule. It appears from the affidavit that the Governor made a suggestion that the licence granted in February 1984 could be revalidated if the petitioner was ready and willing to pay interest at bank rate on the amount of Rs 109.30 lakhs which was demanded as a security by the Director of Town and Country Planning w.e.f. 1984. Thereupon, the petitioner consented to such a course. The affidavit further avers that the Governor while recording the statement of the petitioner directed to submit a report and to calculate the total amount. 6.  With the change of the government, these directions of the Governor were not implemented. Hence, in this present petition, the petitioner prays for an order in the nature of mandamus to direct the State of Haryana to revalidate the licence/permission granted by the Director by his letter dated 'Nil' Memo No. 1823-5 DP-84 permitting the petitioner to construct the multi-storeyed houses and flats in accordance with law by accepting security/bank guarantee to the tune of Rs 109.30 lakhs as demanded by the respondent. 7.  A further prayer is for permission, approval or sanction to enable the petitioner to construct the multi-storeyed houses in pursuance of the licence granted by respondent 2 in the year 1984.
