The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners contended that as per the consent award passed by the respondents dated 23-05-1996, the petitioners’ land was shown as acquired by the Government and hence they filed an application before the respondents to clarify whether their land was acquired in pursuance of the notification or not. But the respondents are not taking any action as per the records available with them to clarify whether the petitioners’ land was acquired in pursuance of the notification or not. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to take appropriate decision and pass orders in accordance with the rules and regulations by considering the representation of the petitioners dated 29-01-2005, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. ____________ 22-02-2005 Note: Copy in two days.
