The spokesperson added that since no land has been allotted to any player, there was no question of any loss to the UT government.

He stated that on the revenue model, one set of the proposal was given by officers’ level committee and another set of proposal was given by the senior-most official of the Administration. Since there were two different sets of views, it was decided to have an independent view from a consultant.

In this process, HDFC has been appointed as consultant and is yet to give its recommendation.

He also pointed out that the project was a subject matter of CWP No 2553 of 2008 titled Harmeet Singh Grewal v/s Union of India and others, pending before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the matter was, therefore, sub judice.

“Full facts of the case have been placed before the court, and the entire process of decision making was, consequently, under the scrutiny of the High Court,” the spokesperson added.
