Basically you have to add the below line of code to enable . when using URI

MethodInfo getSyntax = typeof(UriParser).GetMethod("GetSyntax", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic);
FieldInfo flagsField = typeof(UriParser).GetField("m_Flags", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic);
if (getSyntax != null && flagsField != null)
{
foreach (string scheme in new[] { "http", "https" })
{
UriParser parser = (UriParser)getSyntax.Invoke(null, new object[] { scheme });
if (parser != null)
{
int flagsValue = (int)flagsField.GetValue(parser);
// Clear the CanonicalizeAsFilePath attribute
if ((flagsValue & 0x1000000) != 0)
flagsField.SetValue(parser, flagsValue & ~0x1000000);
}
}
}

Now add your uri in the next line
Uri baseUri = new Uri("http://abc.com/DELHI/CENTRAL_DELHI/A.");

As I understand RFC2396 '.' are not valid characters in a URI.
The RFC 2396 says in Chapter 2.3. Unreserved Characters:
unreserved = alphanum | mark
mark = "-" | "_" | "." | "!" | "~" | "*" | "'" | "(" | ")"
Please refer

hope this will help you.
