FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 1480 OF 2010 WITH WRIT PETITION NO. 1483 OF 2010 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ Heard counsel for the parties. Rule. By consent, Rule made returnable forthwith. Learned A.G.P. waives service. By these petitions, it is prayed that the Respondent No.3 be directed to consider the representations of the petitioners, afresh, for issuance of Certificate of “Project Affected Persons”. The decision of the Respondents has already been communicated on 29.12.2009 and 21.12.2009 respectively. The only reason stated in the said communication(s) is that no directives have been issued by the Government to grant certificate of Project affected persons in respect of land taken for village level tank. That reason is unsustainable. Recently, this court in writ petition No.303 of 2010, decided on 5.2.2010, overturned same ground taken in that case and instead directed the concerned authorities of the State Government. Be that as it may, Mr. Dighe, learned A.G.P. in all fairness, submits that in view of the decision of this Court in the case of Nagesh @ Satish Nagorao Pande vs. State and Anr. Reported in 1995 (3) Bom.C.R. 376 and other decisions, respondent No.3 shall have to decide the representations of the petitioners. Accordingly, we direct the Respondent No.3 to decide the petitioners’ representations expeditiously, in any case not later than three months from today. Petitions disposed of accordingly. (S. S.
