Status of Kh. No. 228(2-19)

5.

After that another letter dated 29^th April 2014 was issued by the

Land and Building Department asking him that if the information asked

for was not submitted before 1^st May 2014, the case shall be closed.

Thereafter, the Petitioner immediately wrote a letter on 29^th April 2014

requesting for some time to furnish the required information. The

Petitioner submitted the Tehsildar’s report of Kh. No. 228 as well as copy

of rent agreement of property no. 249-1, Rama Market, Munirka Village

to show that the properties were situated in Village Abadi.

6.

Vide letter dated 10^th February 2015, the Petitioner was intimated

that his case for allotment of alternative plot has been rejected in the

meeting held on 26^th November 2014 on the ground that the Petitioner

had stated that he did not own the property in Village Munirka whereas

he has submitted copy of rent agreement of the said property showing

him as landlord. By representation dated 17^th September 2015, the

Petitioner sought a review of his case as the same was rejected due to a

typing error by the Petitioner inasmuch as the Petitioner erroneously

typed that he did not have a property in Village Abadi. It was pleaded by

the Petitioner that if he had any intention to hide the Property No. 249-1,

Rama Market, Munirka Village, New Delhi, then he would not have

submitted copy of the rent agreement showing himself as landlord.

7.

Receiving no reply to his representation dated 17^th September

2015, the Petitioner filed a civil writ petition bearing no. 30
