Manmohan Sarin, J. ( 1 ) RULE. WITH the consent of the parties, writ petition is taken up for disposal. ( 2 ) PETITIONER by this writ petition seeks quashing of the impugned order No. Land/bie/e/ii-20/813 dated 29. 11. 1999 passed by the Deputy Secretary, Commissioner (Industry) determining the lease of Plot No. 20, Phase II, Badli Industrial Estate, Delhi. Lease was determined on the ground that petitioner was not carrying out any manufacturing activity at the plot. This conclusion was on the basis of a report dated 10th August, 1999 of Estate Manager, Badli. The case of the petitioner, on the other hand, is that on account of industrial recession and financial difficulties, petitioner had not been able to carry out the industrial activity to its full extent and only light machining work was carried out. Petitioner disputed the factum of any alleged inspection, which admitted was not carried out in the presence of the petitioner or his representative. ( 3 ) THE termination order had been challenged in appeal before the Lt. Governor. Appeal was also dismissed on merits. It was also held that appeal appears to have been preferred by an unknown person who had no locus standi. Cousel for the petitioner submits that appeal had been preferred through a duly constituted attorney. ( 4 ) IT is not necessary to go on the merits of petitioner s contention regarding petitioner carrying out lathe machining work and no inspection having been carried out and the order of determination was passed based on a report made behind the back of the petitioner. This is because the very foundation of initiating the action for determination i. e. issuance of a show-cause notice has not been complied with.
