Chandigarh, February 5
A Division Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court wants to know from the state of Haryana the amount of external development charges (EDCs) due from HUDA and the Haryana State Infrastructure and Industrial Development Corporation(HSIIDC).

The directions came after a residents’ association claimed that these two bodies too had to deposit external development charges.

The Division Bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and GS Sandhawalia asserted: “The grievance of the petitioner is that external development charges deposited by members of the petitioner-association have not been utilized”.

Going into the background of the controversy, the Bench asserted: “Counsel for the petitioner has also relied upon the affidavit dated August 3, 2011, filed on behalf of the Chief Town Planner, to point out that HUDA and the HSIIDC have to deposit external development charges as well”.

Referring to the facts of the case, the Bench added: “Senior advocate representing the petitioner has pointed out that the final development plan in respect of 12,000 acres for the Faridabad-Ballabhgarh controlled area has been prepared out of which only land measuring 1709 acres is to be developed by members of the petitioner-association.

“The remaining land is to be developed by HUDA and the HSIIDC, which have not deposited a single penny towards external development charges. Counsel representing HUDA seeks some time to get instructions in respect of payment of proportionate external development charges”.

Before parting with the case, the Bench asserted: “We direct the state counsel to disclose on affidavit the amount of external development charges due from HUDA and the HSIIDC as well as the time limit for completion of each part of external development”.

The case will now come up for further hearing before the Bench on February 23.
