ALLAH WASAYA AND 3 OTHERS Versus THE STATE

ORDER

1. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and seen the record of the case. It is simple case of petitioners asking for more and more time for payment of the balance amount. They originally purchased this land in 1963 for a total price of Rs. 10,125 and were normally to have completed the payment in three years time. But since after paying initial advance money of Rs. 3,375 they have been regularly defaulting in spite of having been given various chances by the Collector and the Additional Commissioner. They have also taken up the usual plea of the land being poor, not having received notices from the Collector etc. After a lapse of 8 years they do not deserve much consideration. But taking a lenient view and giving them .a last chance, I accept their plea given in the petition "that the petitioners undertake to make the total payment within two months of the order of this honourable tribunal". They are therefore, permitted to deposit the price along with the penal interest and fine up to 5th January 1972. If they fail to have deposited the due amounts by this date the land will automatically stand resumed to the State and no further extension would be allowed.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioners has been informed of these orders and he has undertaken to inform his clients accordingly. Service of these orders should be effected not only through the usual manner but also through the counsel of the petitioners.

3. Orders tray be issued and parties may be informed accordingly.

4. Order accordingly.
