the bench headed by presiding member B C Gupta said.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission upheld the decision of the Rajasthan state commission that the Board should allot a flat to Hakim on the terms and conditions at the cost prevailing in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These Government\/semi-Government agencies have no right to accept any money from the public, unless they are ready with a scheme, for which, allotment can be made within a reasonable time,&#8221; the NCDRC said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, Hakim applied to the Board for allotment of a house under its 1979 General Registration Scheme by depositing a sum of Rs 3,000 on January 30, 1980.<\/p>\n<p>The Board claims that on January 9, 1997 he was asked, through a letter, to deposit certain sum in instalments, adding his registration was cancelled in the year 2000 for his failure to deposit the amount as asked.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Board admitted in the Commission that the said letters had been received back from Hakim as he had changed his address.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint alleged that he again applied under another scheme in 2007 floated by the Board and that application was duly entertained and in response to that, an allotment letter was also issued on February 13, 2008.<\/p>\n<p>But on June 18, 2008, the Board sent a letter saying the allocation letter of February 2008 was cancelled as his earlier application had been cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>The Board claimed at the NCDRC that the February 2008 allotment letter was issued by mistake and was rectified by returning the money deposited by him.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211;
