The petitioner, after completion of 10 years of the lease cum sale agreement submits a representation on 04-06-2019 seeking execution of an absolute sale deed, in terms of the letter of allotment. The said representation has gone unheeded even as on date. Therefore, the petitioner is before this Court in the subject petition seeking the aforesaid prayer. 4.
