PER COURT : 1. Inspite of the notice issued by this Court 2 on 8th September, 2009, no reply has been filed by the Respondents. 2. The only grievance of the Petitioner is that his land was subjected to acquisition and award was passed on 24th March, 2009 but the amount under the award is not yet disbursed. 3. Shri Phatke, learned Additional Government Pleader submits that by communication dated 11th September, 2009, Respondent No.3 was informed about the Court order and instructions were called. Para- wise reply was forwarded but the reply could not be filed in this Court. 4. We do not find it necessary now to wait for the reply as the Petitioner unnecessarily suffered inspite of the fact that his land has been subjected to the acquisition. He has lost possession of his land and he is even deprived of from the fruits of the award. Therefore, we direct that the Petitioner shall appear before Respondent No.3 on 4th December, 2009 at 11.00 a.m. The Respondent No.3 shall take appropriate 3 steps by passing appropriate orders for disbursing the amount of compensation to the Petitioner. 5.
