A but no counter-affidavit has been filed on his behalf. A counter-affidavit has been filed by J. B. Singh. Rejoinder- affidavits have been filed by the petitioner. The petition has not been formally admitted as yet. However, it is ripe for hearing. With the consent of the counsel lor the parties, we have heard this petition with a view to dispose it of finally and we are doing so.

(3.) THE focus is on the order dated 2nd May, 1990, cancelling the allotment of the petitioner (hereinafter referred to as the (impugned order). THE order of allotment dated 3rd May, 1990, in favour of J. B. Singh is consequent to the impugned order. According to the impugned orders the order allotting the accommodation in dispute to the petitioner had been cancelled as she failed to comply with the notice dated 24th April, 1990. On a perusal of the relevant record, as placed by Sri Ashok Mohiley, learned counsel for the Authority, we are satisfied that in the impugned order 24th April, 1990, had been inadvertantly typed out instead of 12th April, 1990.
