1. Through the instant writ petition filed under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners have prayed for quashing of order of resumption dated 31.11.1993 (Annexure P1) in respect of site/Kothi No. 41, Sector 2-A, Chandigarh along with forfeiture of 10% of the total amount of premium. Challenge has also been laid to order dated 31.8.1995 (Annexure P2) and order dated 22.11.2000 (Annexure P6), whereby the appeal and revision petition, respectively, filed by the petitioners, have been dismissed. Briefly stated, the facts of the case are that Sube Singh Sidhu was the owner in possession of plot/kothi No. 41, Sector 2A, Chandigarh by virtue of allotment letter dated 13.2.1951. After the allotment, said Sube Singh raised construction over the plot and started residing therein. As the city of Chandigarh was developing and there was no proper and adequate accommodation for the offices of the State of Punjab and the Union of India, the owners let out their houses for the purposes of offices, which was in the knowledge of the respondents and no proceedings were initiated under Section 8-A of the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952
