In fact, circumstances appearing on record would indicate that
controversy regarding rate on interest has been raised by the petitioner to
camouflage his intention not to pay the due installment and continue enjoying

High Court Chandigarh
C.W.P. No.21639 of 2010 (O&M) -9-
possession of the booth constructed on the booth site. The booth site was
allotted to him on 15.06.1988. He took possession of the booth site
immediately on its allotment; raised construction thereon without even getting
the plan approved and occupied the booth so constructed in the year 1993. Last
installment towards balance purchase price (after adjusting 25% paid by him)
was payable on or before 15.06.1993. Order of resumption was passed on
26.04.2001. Till that day the petitioner had deposited only an amount of Rs.
20,000/- (on 04.05.1993).Controversy regarding rate of interest was raised for
the first time in Civil Suit No.19 of 2001 which was filed on 22.01.2001. In
fact Estate Officer, HUDA, was waiting for petitioner's response to the various
notices issued to him when the suit was filed presumably to pre-empt passing
of order of resumption, which was the only alternative available to HUDA in
the situation for which the petitioner alone was responsible. Needless to say,
Section 50 of the Act bars jurisdiction of the Civil Court and it has ultimately
been so held by this Court vide judgment dated 17.09.2009 passed in RSA No.
2317 of 2009, The Estate Officer and another versus Parveen Kumar,
arising from the civil suit filed by the petitioner.
