Learned counsel for respondent No.2 submits that as there is a delay in payment of the consideration - 13 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:22249 WP No. 3565 of 2023 C/W WP No. 7131 of 2023 WP No. 3585 of 2024 amount by the petitioners, the lease-cum-sale agreement could not be executed. 3. Under normal circumstances, an allotee is required to pay the amounts due within the stipulated time, failing which, he loses the right over the property. However, in the instant case, though respondent No.2 has failed to execute the lease-cum-sale agreement, it did not repay or come forward to refund the consideration amount paid by the petitioners, as required under law. Under similar circumstances, and in respect of the same layout, this Court in W.P.No.45700/2019, has directed respondent No.2 to execute the lease-cum-sale agreement and the registered sale deed upon the petitioners therein paying certain interest on the belated payment. The said order has been confirmed by the Division Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal No.362/2025. 4. In the light of the aforementioned decision, both the petitioners as well as the respondents submit that - 14 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:22249 WP No. 3565 of 2023 C/W WP No. 7131 of 2023 WP No. 3585 of 2024 a similar order may be passed in the instant case also. There is no reason why the order passed in W.P.No.45700/2019 should not enure to the benefit of the petitioners herein. Hence the following:- ORDER i. The writ petitions are disposed of. ii. Respondent No.2 is directed to execute the necessary deeds in favour of the petitioners upon the petitioners in the instant case making the necessary payments on similar terms as directed in W.P.No.45700/2019.
