Dear Friends,
Since I was in Mumbai yesterday so I also could not attend the hearing. However, as I am informed by Mr. Sumeet Mahajan yesterday evening over phone, he was not confused but surprised on (i) some mis-statements by Govt. side on EDC collection and its utilisation, as the said statements were not part of record and even were not in the affidavit filed by Huda on previous occasion (ii) HUDA was justifying their affidavit filed on last occasion, which covers external development work of other areas in Faridabad other than Sec-75 to 89. Mr. Mahajan argued that if EDC is collected from me then it has to be utilised in Sec-75 to 89 only and not in other areas as stated by HUDA in their previous affidavit. The detailed arguments were heard in the matter and accordingly all these mis-statements were duly countered by Mr. Mahajan as a defence on merit of the case.
Accordingly the Hon'ble Court was pleased to direct HUDA to file a fresh affidavit stating current status of EDC collected so far (including old EDC), development work executed so far and expenditure incurred so far from EDC collected only in respect Sec-75 to 89 Greater Faridabad.
If HUDA files this fresh affidavit giving all the above details/ particulars, I am hopeful we will be able to counter them more forcefully as they cannot justify the external development work against EDC collected so far. As per HUDA's own affidavits and discloser in court on previous occasions, the old EDC collected so far is much more than expenses incurred or total expenses required to be incurred on external development work in Greater Faridabad.
Thanx
