my land. However, only in recent years , I came to know that
the Petitioner Smt Lalsangluaii Sailo renewed her Periodic Patta
No.189 of 2008 in the 2021 and the new land Pass overlapsed.

7. That in paragraph no. 3 of the Writ Petition, it is stated inter alia
that the answering Respondent is one of the members of Air-
craft Acquisition Committee (ACC) who would be responsible for
service of the air flight. However, it is humbly submitted that
the answering Respondent has a very limited role in the func-
tioning of the said Aircraft Acquisition Committee (ACC), the role
is restricted only for giving approval for night parking stands at
the airports as such the answering Respondent would not have
any responsibility with the subject matter of the petition.

the averments made in paragraph nos. 4, 5 & 6 of the Writ Peti-
tion.

enclaves and the aeronautical communication stations effi-
ciently; to provide air traffic service and air transport service at
any airport and civil enclaves and the like nature as specifically

of fares and air services.

paragraph nos. 9 & 10 of the Writ Petition.
