Chandigarh (Balwinder Singh): Haryana Tribunal, Town and Country Planning, has taken a significant step towards digital governance and citizen convenience by developing and launching an Online Appeal Filing System.
The system was formally inaugurated by Justice Rajan Gupta, in the presence of senior dignitaries, including the Additional Chief Secretary, Town and Country Planning, Sh. Anurag Agarwal, Director, Town and Country Planning, Sh. Amit Khatri, Chairman, HRERA Panchkula, Sh. Parneet S Sachdev and Members of the Tribunal.
Sharing information in this regard, an official spokesperson said that under the provisions of the Haryana Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963, legal action against unauthorized constructions is undertaken by the concerned District Town Planner (DTPO). Aggrieved persons have the statutory right to file appeals before the Tribunal against such actions.
Until now, appeals were required to be filed physically by visiting the Tribunal office, either in person or through legal counsel. This often involved considerable time, effort, and expense.
The spokesperson said that with the introduction of the Online Appeal Filing System, the process has been significantly streamlined and modernized. Citizens can now conveniently file their appeals online through the designated portal, eliminating the need for physical visits. The system is expected to enhance accessibility, ensure transparency, and reduce both time and cost for the general public.
This initiative reflects the Tribunal’s commitment to leveraging technology for efficient service delivery and improving access to justice.
