Respected Sir / Madam,
PART A — THE ALLOTTEE, THE SITE, THE NOTICE AND THE MONEY
A-1. I, Harpreet Singh Bedi, son of Shri Gurdial Singh Bedi, resident of House No. 214, Phase 3B2, S.A.S. Nagar, Punjab 160059, am the allottee and transferee of Residential Plot No. 1247, Sector 78, Urban Estate, S.A.S. Nagar, measuring 250 square yards, in the urban estate of Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) (hereinafter "the said site"). I may be contacted on +91 XXXXX XXXXX and at harpreet.bedi@example.com. All notices and orders in these proceedings may be served on me at the above address, and I undertake to intimate any change in it in writing.
A-2. The said site was transferred to me under section 43 of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995 (hereinafter "the Act") by Allotment / Re-allotment Letter No. GMADA/EO/S-78/2016/4471 dated 1 April 2026. The total consideration money fixed for the said site by that letter is ₹42,50,000 (Rupees Forty Two Lakh Fifty Thousand only).
A-3. Against that consideration money I have paid to the Authority a total of ₹36,00,000 (Rupees Thirty Six Lakh only) up to the date of this representation, and the receipts are annexed. My most recent payment of ₹2,50,000 (Rupees Two Lakh Fifty Thousand only) was made on 2 April 2026, and the receipt for it is annexed. That payment is placed on record at the outset because it shows that I have neither abandoned the said site nor set myself against the Authority's dues.
A-4. As on the date of this representation, physical possession of the said site has been delivered to me and I am in possession of it.
A-5. THE COMMUNICATION OUT OF WHICH THESE PROCEEDINGS ARISE. These proceedings arise out of Notice / Memo No. GMADA/EO/SCN/2026/1183 dated 2 April 2026, issued to me by the Estate Officer under sub-section (1) of section 45 of the Act, proposing a penalty for default in payment of consideration money or an instalment. It is identified here whether this representation shows cause against that communication, appeals against an order since passed in the same matter, or does both, so that the file can be traced from a single reference. That notice was served on me on 3 April 2026. Sub-section (1) of section 48 of the Act runs the period of thirty days for an appeal to the Competent Authority "from the date of the service of notice under section 46 or section 47, as the case may be", and not from the date of any order, and it is that date of service which is relied upon for limitation in this matter.
