A second draw was held on 19th January, 2005. Persons claiming to be successful in the draw held on 18th January, 2005 filed writ petitions before the High Court which were disposed of on 20th January, 2005 directing the writ Petitioners to move the Development Authority by way of representations and such representations were directed to be decided by the Development
