I I .2022 and rhe Membership number of the said person was 9l 78. lt is submitted that the said mentbership was given subsequr.nrly in spite of a direction from the DCO not to allot the units ro any netv members as per the Communication 3 Rc.No.557/2023-H, dated 17.02.2016. It is further stated that this Court in W.P.No.465O2 of 2022 in I.A.No. 1 of 2022 has also held that the allotments made by the official Five Men Committee is final and restrained the respondent No.3 from alienating or creating third party rights. Since the respondent No.2 failed to take action on the representation ofthe petiLioner, the present writ petition has been hled.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn the attention of this Court to the allotment letter dated 28.O5.2O l3 issued in favour of the petitioner, the receipts issued in favour of the petitioner in support of her contentions that they have received a sum of Rs.19,50,000/- and that without registering the flat in her name, the Conveyance Deed was made in favour of the respondent No.4 on O7.11.2022. He therefore prayed that the respondent No.2 may be directed to take action by cancelling the registration made in favour of the respondent No.4 and to direct the respondent No.3 to register the property in favour of the petitioner and also to hand over the possession of the said flat.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner could not serve notice on the address given on the respondent No.4 and 4 thereafter, rlith the pcrmission of this Court, the petitioner has taken oul substituted service by publishing the notice in Nava Telangana , rn 09. 12.2024 . However, none appeared for the .respondent No.4 before this Court.
5. Learned counsel for the respondent No.3 Society, has on the other hancl, relied upon the averments made in the counter affirlavit fitect by respondent No.3 and submitted that the petitiont'r has failed to make the payment of consideration within the sripulated time and further it had come to the riotice o[ the respor-rdent No.3 Socicty that the petitioner was not a genuine mcrrrber of thc Musician Union. He submitted that in view of thc above, the allotment made in favour of the writ petitioner u,as cancelled vide General Body Resolution dated
25.09.202'2 iLnd the allotment made in favour of the writ petitioner hzrs been changed in favour of the respondent No.4 and thereaftt'r, the documents has been registere<I.

No.3 also produced th(' copies of declaration/undertaking given by the petitioner that there is no other house or vacant site allotted to her and notrce dated '23.06.2022 issued to the petitioner and others for verification o[ their memberships ald also the copy of 5 the order of the Tribunal in I.A.No.26 of 2023 in C.T.A.No.6 of 2023, dated 21.02.2023, wherein in the cases of similarly placed persons who approached the Tribunal, a direction was given to issue notices to the allottees for produclion of proper/valid allotment letters if any to prove their case and in the absence of any such exercise, the Tribunal cannot direct the societ5z to cancel the registrations. In view of the above, he prayed for dismissal of the writ petil-ion.
7. Having regard to the rival contentions and. the material on record, this Court finds that the petitioner was given al admission No.7984 on the basis of her membership of Musicians Union. She has also been allotted a flat by the Five Men Committee and she has made a payment of Rs. 19,5O,00O/- by the end of December, 2O19. Though the respondents have taken a ground that the petitioner has not made the payment of the amount within the prescribed time in spite of their issuance of notices, no copy of any such notices has been filed before this Court along with the counter affidavit. The only ground taken by the respondents is that the petitioner is not a genuine member of the Musician Association and that the Musician Association has 6 also confirmed that she is not a genuine member and therefore, the allotment made in her favour has been cancelled and re-a-llotment was made in lavour of the respondent No.4 vide resolution in the General Body meeting held on 25.O9.2022. Therefore, there is no evidence produced before this Court that the membership of the petitioner has been cancelled nor that aly notice was issued to the petitioner that her membership was obtained by producing a fake membership from the Musician Association. All these facts need verihcation by the respondent No.2.
8. In view of the same, this Court deems it ht and proper to clirect the petitioner to make arr appropriate application before the respondent No.2, who shall then consider the sarne in accordarce with law and pass appropriate orders thereon. The petitioner strall make an application $'ithin a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and thereafter, within a period of three (3) months, the respondent No.2 sha.ll pass appropriate orders after verification of the records. The respective parties are directed to co-operate with the respondent No.2 for the early adjudication ofthe issue. /-/ 7
