According to the petitioner some land has already been reserved for the use of the petitioner by the Authority. THE Authority sent a letter dated 7.2.2009 offering the land at the rate of Rs.3500/- per sq. metre. THE petitioner has filed the writ petition challenging the rate on which the land was proposed to be given.
(2.) WE have heard counsel for petitioner, the Standing counsel and Sri AK Misra for the respondents. The counsel for the petitioner submitted that : (i) The Authority has already determined the principle on which the land is to be allotted to the petitioner.

(iii) In case this method is adopted the value will come out to be Rs.1472/- per sq. metre and not Rs.3500/- per sq. metre.
In our opinion, it will be better in case the Authority itself first considers the objections of the petitioner. In these circumstances, the petitioner may file its objection/ representation before respondent no. 3 against the letter dated 7.2.2009. In case the representation is filed, it may be decided by respondent no.3 by a speaking order, if possible, within three months from the date of receipt of the representation.
