GURUGRAM: The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has prohibited the registration of any sale, conveyance, or lease deeds associated with a commercial colony in Sector 53 due to violations of licensing conditions.
This measure follows directives from the DTCP under Rule 18(2) of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Rules, 1976, concerning license number 13–19 of 2002. This license was issued on June 26, 2002, for the development of a commercial colony spanning 3.953 acres in Sector 53 of Gurgaon, in favor of Arenas Infotech Pvt. Ltd. and Senior Builders Pvt. Ltd., valid until June 25, 2005.
Amit Madholia, District Town Planner (Enforcement), stated that the license required renewal under Rule 13 of the 1976 Rules, which mandates submission of a renewal application at least a month before it expires. However, the license holders did not apply for renewal on time. Officials confirmed that the license was never renewed, and statutory dues totaling around ₹87.6 lakh, plus interest, remain unpaid.
The District Town Planner (Enforcement) has instructed the sub-registrar to block registrations and ensure an entry is made in the revenue records.
“The enforcement wing has communicated with police authorities to file an FIR against the owners and directors of Arenas Infotech Pvt. Ltd. and Senior Builders Pvt. Ltd. for alleged breaches of licensing conditions, the bilateral agreement with the department, and the provisions of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975,” said Madholia.
The police are requested to investigate offenses under sections 10 and 12 of the act.
DTCP officials mentioned that this enforcement action is part of a larger initiative to address long-standing cases involving expired licenses and non-compliance. Further actions, including recovery proceedings and prosecution, will depend on the results of the police investigation and compliance status.
