Ms.No.1342, Housing and Urban Development Department dated 09.10.1991, published in the Government Gazette on 13.10.1991, were quashed by this Court in W.P. Nos.16881 and 16882 of 1994, vide order dated 14.08.2000, reserving liberty to the authorities to initiate fresh proceedings under the provisions of the Act, if so advised.

Having regard to the afore-stated settled facts, the Writ Court directed the appellant to consider the representation dated 27.07.2009 submitted by the respondents 1 to 3, in accordance with the facts, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. 6.
