Dear Friends,
The Hon’ble Apex Court passed detailed order on dated 17/18th July 2013 in case WP (C )876 in IA No. 8 & 9 Okhla Enclave Plot  Holders’ Welfare  Association V/s UOI & Ors. And the case was listed for 10th Sept. 2013.  The meetings were held with the DGTPC(Govt. of Haryana) to comply with said directions but it is mentioned by him that first of all he would seek some clarification in the matter.  Association also suggested/requested him to issue public notices in daily leading news papers & place sign board at site in compliance of directions of Hon’ble Court.  He assured that the action in the matter will be taken very shortly.
            Suddenly the case was heard on 4th Sept. 3013 instead of 10th.  The Counsel of DGTPC requested for further six months time to filling the Report but on objection by our senior Counsel, the  Hon’ble Court directed that the Report in terms of the earlier order dated  17th July 2013 placed on 18th Nov. 2013.  The Counsel for DGTPC  also mentioned that there is huge encroachment at site which is not possible to remove but the Court was not satisfied with pleadings of their Counsel and clearly stated that all licensed land should be vacated.  The development work issue  within three month was also brought before the Hon’ble Court  by the said counsel for which he was directed to bring detailed report in the matter on next due date. 
            All efforts are being made by your Association to assist DGTCP to comply with the said directions of Hon’ble Apex Court as early as possible so as to realize our decades’ old dream of a roof over our heads.  A group of people under Okhla Enclave Joint Action Committee falsely claiming to represent 492 S C petitioners/members, as a big chunk of them were with us during filing of case, have filed I A No. 44 in WP© No. 113/96 seeking directions to complete internal & external development and they may not be burdened with any addl. expenditure towards internal and external dev. cost.
            Presently, DGTCP is seized with the solutions of all directions given to him by the Hon’ble Apex Court. S C petitioners have already got their due with due support of all of us, as when they were filing their case they were mere defaulters. They should bear in mind that only 492 drops don’t make the ocean. Prior to them 1739 applicants/plot holders had also deposited the entire payments as per Builders own affidavit submitted in the Apex Court dated 10.1.1997. All left out cases are referred to the DGTCP to decide. Once the eligibility and irritants are decided other matters will soon serially be decided. Till such period all should wait.
            The matter of development is dependent on eviction of unauthorized construction and it is reported that the notices have been served to the concern encroacher. Further comes the question of drawing of lay out  plan, then only a survey can be conducted to assess the current state of development and the future requirement and then the cost involved and the likely incidence of it.
            There is hardly any need to cry untimely. The popular mood would be to seek a plot at prime location at legitimate cost wouldn’t be a bad bargain. Any way the Hon’ble Court will decide the matter. At that stage there would be space to think, deliberate and decide, either to abide or quit. A small group of people who being S C petitioners  feeling ecstatic of their possessions cannot call heavens to come on earth to build a paradise for them. Let them bask on their so called glories.
            Let us unite, remain united. A time will come when we can realize our dreams. There are plethora of people to derail the process of justice, lets not be one of them. Bit by bit we can build the castle. When all are moving in the same positive direction, any difficult work looks simpler and get completed timely.  
            In fact we want to carryon the development work as early as possible but such type of groups who are working as agent of Colonizer/property dealers/Builders are interest to de-rail the case so that you may be compel to sale your plot which is going to be handed over to you after more that two and half decades. 
                                                                                                       Yours,
                                                                                                 -MP PANDEY,
                                                                               GENERAL SECRETARY (HONORARY)
