“… We accordingly issue a direction in terms of the order of the Director Annexure P-16 and direct the Colonizer to execute the sale deeds and hand over possession within a period of three months from today …”

8. Order dated 19.05.2006 is now final, since, vide order dated 04.01.2008, Hon’ble Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition (SLP No. 14843 of 2006) challenging the said order dated 19.05.2006.

9. No exemption was granted to the colonizer, by Hon’ble Supreme Court, from complying with the directions contained in the said order dated 19.05.2006.

10. No extension of time was granted to the colonizer, by Hon’ble Supreme Court, for complying with the said order dated 19.05.2006.
