Faridabad Coop Society Petition Dismissed by HC

Authority: Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh

Order Date: 10 December 2024

Case Overview

• Petitioner: The Faridabad Ex‑Sainik and Karamchari Coop House Building Society Ltd.
• Respondents: State of Haryana and others.
• The petition challenged two earlier orders: one dated 21 April 1995 concerning payment of External Development Charges (EDC) for a licence dated 18 December 1991 covering 109.09 acres, and another dated 26 October 1995 issued by the Director, Town & Country Planning, Haryana, Chandigarh.
• The petitioner argued that frequent changes in the Board of Administrators of the Society impeded obtaining correct instructions on the status of the EDC and that the recovery had not been effected, leading to loss of interest in pursuing the petition.

Final Outcome

• The Court dismissed the petition on the ground of non‑prosecution.
• Liberty was granted to the petitioner to seek revival of the petition within three months if any grievance remains.
• All other miscellaneous applications, if any, were disposed of accordingly.
