1. Prayer sought for herein is for a writ of mandamus, directing the first respondent to grant further period of one month time from the date i.e., on 27.08.2021, for the payment of allotment amount under Ref.No.PII/SIC-NLK/Sri Karpaga/2021, dated 27.05.2021, issued by the first respondent.

2. The first respondent had made an allotment of place by allotment order, dated 27.05.2021 to the petitioner, by considering the petitioner's application, dated 07.12.2021, to run the electrode industry. As per the allotment, Plot No.C-31, measuring 2.00 acres, on 99 year lease basis, for an amount of Rs.18,17,600/- had been made, and as per one of the condition of allotment, within 30 days, that is, on or before 25.06.2021, 100% plot cost shall be paid by the petitioner.

3. Accordingly, the allotment had been given to the petitioner pursuant to which, the petitioner had made arrangement for finance and he had approached the Bank for getting loan, and for making the process of getting loan from the bank, it seems that, there has been a delay, therefore, it triggered the petitioner to seek for extension of time to pay the amount, and in this regard, the petitioner had already approached this Court by filing a writ petition in W.P(MD).No.10848 of 2021, where, a learned Judge of this Court, by an order, dated 09.07.2021, had given 90 days time to the petitioner, from the date of allotment, for making payment. The said 90 days time granted by the Court in the said order, dated 09.07.2021, also expired on 26.08.2021, but even within the 90 days time, the petitioner could not make the payment. The reason for such delay is, according to the petitioner, the petitioner had already applied for loan in the REPCO HOME FINANCE LTD., and they have sanctioned the loan by sanction order, dated 17.08.2021 and the other formalities yet to be completed, therefore, the amount has not been advanced so far, hence, in order to get the amount from the Bank as sanctioned by the Bank, the petitioner, now wants only a further extension of 30 days time, within which, the petitioner would certainly make the payment of 100% plot cost, in order to fulfil the condition as already been imposed by the order of this Court, and therefore, seeking such extension of 30 days time, such a request having been made by the petitioner on 19.08.2021 to the respondents, since the same has not been considered by the respondents, he has approached this Court by filing the present writ petition.

4. Heard Mr.S.Muthukumar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, who, having reiterated the aforesaid facts, would seek indulgence of this Court that, if, only 30 days time is further extended to the petitioner, in view of the loan having been sanctioned already by sanction order, dated 17.08.2021, the petitioner would certainly be able to make the payment to the first respondent for the plot cost and therefore, such kind of indulgence, if the first respondent shown to the petitioner, that will be actually helpful to the petitioner to establish his industry in the plot allotted to him.

5. However, Mr.N.Adithyavijayalayan, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents, on instructions, would submit that, as per the conditions annexed with the allotment order dated 27.05.2021, the petitioner should have paid the entire cost of the plot, that is, 100% cost within 30 days, that is, on or before 25.06.2021.
