(3.) THE contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that notifications issued under Sections 4 and 6 are null and void having not been issued by com plying the mandatory requirement of the Act. In any case, it is submitted that the order passed on the petitioner's representation cannot be said to be a speaking order. More so, it is based on presumptions and the findings recorded are no nest since without considering evidence on record the respondent No. 1 has passed, the impugned order and, therefore, it is liable to be set aside. Sri R. C. Singh, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner besides mak ing oral submissions, as aforesaid, has also filed a written argument wherein the submissions raised in brief are as under: (1) The order is not a reasoned order and being non-speaking is liable to be set aside. (2) The report dated 11. 1. 2005 with respect to the construction of resi dential building at' the land in dispute has not been considered and relevant material has been ignored. (3) Non exclusion of the petitioner's land is based on unfair and unrea sonable consideration of the matter and the conclusion drawn by respondent No. 1 is perverse. (4) The construction was existing prior to the coming into existence of GNIDA and in support thereof the electricity bills, telephone bills and ration card etc. have been filed by the petitioner but the same have not been consid ered and this vitiates the impugned order. (5) The Khasra entry showing Abadi on the land in dispute has also not been considered. The order is perverse, whimsical and is based on no evi dence. 9 (6) Since the reasons for rejecting petitioner's applications are not ger mane, arbitrary and irrational, therefore, the impugned order is liable to be set aside.;
