Ref: WP 6500/20051(Gita Dewan Verma v/s DMRC Ltd & Ors)

Respected Sir,

Reproduced below is the text of the above-mentioned tender, apropos which it is submitted:

• The site on offer is subject of the petition under reference in which respondents (DMRC, GNCTD, GoI-MoUD, DDA) have not filed replies on Orders of 13/04/052 and 23/05/053.
• The use proposed is neither Master Plan use nor mentioned in Public Notices that are subject of the petition and, therefore, unauthorised and covered by Order of 03/03/03.
• DMRC Ltd cannot license for 15-years ‘15 hectares, not presently utilised’, after having moved Court in December 2004 for encroachment removal for urgent public utility work.
• Details (‘high quality green space’, annual turnover of 1 cr, etc) are vague and arbitrary, and also call for reasons for rejection of suggestions for community-controlled agro-based eco-visitation for appropriate sustainable riverbed greening, filed as responses to IT Park Public Notice whose notification of 25/04/05 was produced in court on 23/05/05.

I seek directions for withdrawal of this tender forthwith (with information to me) and for filing of counter-affidavits in my writ petition.

Yours sincerely

sd/-
