Respondents Ms.Mahalakshmi G. i/by Mr.Prashant Gawali, for the petitioner. Mr.M.L.Patil, for respondent Corporation. Ms.S.S.Bhende, AGP, for respondent State. CORAM: P.B.MAJMUDAR & A.A.SAYED, JJ. DATE: 25st JANUARY, 2011. P.C. : 1. Earlier the petitioner had filed a petition being Writ Petition No.10101 of 2009. However, the petitioner was permitted to approach the State Government for the grievance raised in the petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the representation of the petitioner regarding alternate land is still pending before the State Government and no decision is taken by the State Government. In this view of the matter, fresh petition on the same issue is not maintainable. If the representation is pending, the State Government may take appropriate decision within a period of eight weeks from today and whatever may the decision, it may be communicated to the petitioner. However, the State Government is free to decide whether any alternative land can be given to the petitioner ssp 2 WP 10361 of 2010 or not and the pendency of the Public Interest Litigation shall not come in the way of the Government to decide the representation of the petitioner. If the decision is adverse to the petitioner, it will be open to them to approach the Court for the said relief. 2. In view of what is stated above, the writ petition is disposed of.
