DATED : JUNE 17, 2010 Heard learned Counsel for the parties. Shri Patil, learned Counsel for the petitioner, does not press prayers made in the writ petition and submits that petitioner would be satisfied if directions are issued to the State Government to consider the proposal dated 25/9/2002 forwarded by the Collector in respect of distribution of land which, according to the petitioner, was recommended to be allotted to them. We have perused the letter dated 2 1/12/2003 of the Office of the Collector addressed to the Desk Officer, Town Planning Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai. That letter refers to the proposal submitted to the State Government on 25/9/2002 for distribution of land in favour of Green Land Cooperative Housing Society and the petitioner Association. Having considered overall facts and circumstances of the case and more particularly letter dated 1/12/2003 (Annexure “E”), we are satisfied that the following order will meet the ends of justice : The concerned Department of the State Government shall consider the proposal submitted on 25/9/2002 by the Collector in respect of distribution of land in response to the proposals accepted by the Land Distribution Committee headed by the Commissioner, Nagpur Division, Nagpur as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order. While passing this order, we shall not be understood to have issued any direction to the State Government in respect of actual distribution of land 3 either in favour of the petitioner or in favour of the Society mentioned in the letter dated 1/12/2003. The State Government shall take appropriate decision in accordance with law and without being influenced by this order. We grant liberty to the petitioner to approach the concerned Department of the State Government along with all the relevant papers and copy of this order, duly authenticated by the Court Sheristedar. With the above observations, the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE khj
