The said application was allowed by the respondent no.2 vide its order dated 20.01.2018 with direction to the petitioner to pay the map sanction charges in two years (four six monthly installments). As per license agreement, the petitioner had already deposited the entire map sanction charges and the details of the deposits are also given in paragraph-11 of the writ petition. He submits that certain deposits have not been calculated by the respondent no.2 while issuing the impugned notice to the petitioner and as such, the impugned notice is unsustainable in the eyes of law. He also assures to the Court that in case, any outstanding amount qua the map sanction charges is still pending, the same shall be paid by the petitioner. He has confined his prayer only to the relief that his representation dated 21.06.2025 may be considered by the appropriate authority. 4.

In case any such representation is moved within the said period, the same shall be considered and decided by the respondent no.2 strictly in accordance with law within next four weeks. 7.
