Directions to the Chandigarh Housing Board to deposit the amount, collected from the petitioner, with the UT Administration for "estate services" were also sought. Directions to the respondents "for completing the development" within three months were also asked for.

The counsel for the petitioner had stated that the respondents had "refused to provide internal development services inspite of the fact that the society had deposited Rs 250 per square yard for the same.

Describing the action of the respondents as "arbitrary and discriminatory", the counsel said it was also violative of "Article 14 of the Constitution of India".

A fresh allotment letter, he had added, with clause number 12 inserted in it providing that the socity would itself do the internal development of the allotted chunk of land, was accepted under protest by the petitioner on December 12, 1994.
