[Civil Appeal No.9264 of 2014 arising out of Special Leave Petition (C) No. 1117 of 2010]. These appeals are directed against the common judgment and final order dated 01.09.2009 passed by the High Court of Judicature at Bombay whereby Division Bench of the High Court has allowed three Writ Petitions being W.P.Nos. 9467, 9468 of 2005 and 3423 of 2006 preferred respectively by M/s. Popcorn Entertainment Corporation (in short, 'M/s. Popcorn'), M/s. Platinum Entertainment (in short, 'M/s. Platinum') and M/s. Platinum Square Trust (in short, 'M/s. Platinum Square'). By way of these writ petitions, the writ petitioners had challenged orders of appellant- 'The City & Industrial Development Corporation' (in short 'CIDCO') by which allotment of plot of lands to M/s. Popcorn and M/s. Platinum Entertainment for erecting entertainment complex in Navi Mumbai and the allotment of plot of land to M/s. Platinum Square for establishment of country club were cancelled. The facts giving rise to aforesaid writ petitions and consequently present appeals are almost similar. However, for the sake of clarity factual matrix of each appeal has been mentioned here separately. The respondent- M/s. Popcorn Entertainment (SLP (C) No.1290 of 2010) in the appeal by special leave arising out of Writ Petition No.9467 of 2005, by way of an application made a request for allotment of plot in Airoli for setting up multiplex-cum-auditorium-cum-entertainment centre. On CIDCO's instructions, respondent submitted detailed project report. CIDCO, by their letter of intent, requested the respondent herein to pay an Earnest Money Deposit of Rs.20,77,000/- within 15 days from the receipt of the letter to enable the Board to consider the allotment in favour of the respondent.
