from Dhirottama Joshi. The development agreement was entered into on 11.7.2006. It was a registered agreement. Mahedwi Nagar Society objected to that transaction and filed a civil suit. In the year 2008, there was compromise between the informant and Mahedwi Nagar Co-operative Society and the development agreement was entered into on 4.1.2008. It was registered vide document No.121/2008. The informant had preferred application for building permission but till lodging of the FIR those permissions were not granted and therefore the work of development was still pending.
