Case Note & Summary

The dispute involved the Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation and various respondents concerning the reallotment of plots and the conditions for extension of project implementation periods. The Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation filed review petitions seeking clarification on the directions issued by the Supreme Court in earlier judgments dated 19.2.2008 and 20.2.2008. The court noted that a general offer was made for reallotment at the current rate, and several allottees expressed their willingness to pay the prevailing price. The court emphasized that if the respondents paid the prevailing price, the plots would be reallotted under the same terms and conditions, with specific timelines for payment and possession. The review petitions aimed to clarify the conditions under which extensions for project implementation could be granted. The court found that the respondents had no objection to the clarifications sought by the petitioners. Ultimately, the court allowed the review petitions and directed that the extension of the period for project implementation would be governed by the terms in the allotment letters, thereby modifying its earlier orders. No costs were awarded.
