Land allotment by bihar state housing

Dear Sir/Madam

My father had applied for land for allotment by Bihar State Housing Board  on 26-12-1978 for(MIG Plot Bahadurpur, Patna) submitting the registration amount and earnest money.

Instead of alloting a plot  in 2013 the government gave a notification asking to collect back the money ( i.e. submit a form asking for refund which i have attached.) otherwise it will be canceled.

Please advise me of any possible recourse

Thank you
