Pursuant to the said show cause notice, the petitioner appeared before respondent no.4 and pleaded that the show cause notice was illegal and arbitrary, as similarly situated allottees have also raised construction on their dwelling units, which are need-based changes. However, vide letter dated 16.3.2006 (Annexure P-3), the dwelling unit allotted to the petitioner was cancelled and the amount deposited by him was forfeited in terms of the provisions of Clause 19 and 21 of the allotment letter and also the provision of Regulation 17 of the Chandigarh Houisng Board (Allotment, Management and Sale of Tenements) Regulations, 1979 for having committed breach of terms and conditions of the allotment letter. Against order dated 16.3.2006, petitioner filed an appeal before respondent no.2. However, as the petitioner failed to remove the building violations, the appeal was dismissed by respondent no.2 vide order dated 2.9.2011. The petitioner further agitated the order dated 2.9.2011 by way of Revision Petition No.05 of 2012. During the pendency of the revision petition, interim orders were passed and the petitioner was provided opportunity to remove the violations existing at the site, but the petitioner failed to remove such violations. Even during the course of arguments, the petitioner was asked to remove the violations but he showed his inability to remove such violations and accordingly, the revision petition was also dismissed, being without any merit, vide order dated 17.7.2013 (Annexure P-6). Through the present writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the aforesaid orders i.e. the order of cancellation of tenement, order passed in appeal and the order passed in revision petition.;
