in 2007, the haryana state pollution control, filed charges against api, the developers of aravali retreat, and some plots owners, for violating the aravali notification dated 7 may 1992. the contention of the state and district authorities is that aravali retreat is aravali gairmumkin mountain (pahad), and that its change to gairmumkin farm houses by the district authorities in 1990 is void. in support of this contention it is argued that the 1990 order has been revoked by the collector of gurgaon on 23 february 2006. the re-categorization of aravali retreat by the district authorities as 'gairmumkin pahad' (mountain), was prompted by haryana state pollution control complaint. the developer, in 2012, in his deposition before the court claimed that the relevant permissions including under the provisions of the punjab scheduled roads and controlled areas (restriction of unregulated development) act,1963 and the haryana development and regulation of urban areas act, 1975 were obtained before starting work, that the director, town and country planning, haryana, was informed of the status of the development by means of letters dated 14 may 1991, and that the area was developed after it had been declared as gairmumkin farm houses in 1990.
