Can Governement Land Be used for Unauthorised Collection of Parking Fee

These are snaps taken at the place outside Crown Interiorz Mall at Mathura Road Faridabad. The space shown belongs to Government. The vehicles are parked on the Government land and the Management of the Mall was charging Rs. 20/- each as parking fee from each vehicle. The Mall has a parking lot inside the complex. However, due to heavy rush, the vehicles got parked outside. The question is why the Management was charging fee from the space which is not owned by the Management and Is it possible that such business is going on without any involvement of the Govt. officials. On a rough estimate 1000 vehicles with Rs. 20/- each makes a total unauthorised collection of Rs. 20,000/- a day. Dont we think that Govt. should get up and take recovery action of such unauthorised collection from a space which is owned by Govt. of Haryana. The parking fee clearly indicates fee as Space Charges. How any person be allowed to make money from the space not owned by him?
