Thereafter, award was passed. It is case of the petitioners that as per award, they are entitled to get an amount of Rs.41,87,475/- towards compensation, however, only an amount of Rs.34,47,594/- has been paid to them and in spite of many representations made, balance amount has not been released in their favour. To say that the petitioners have approached the authorities to get the remaining amount, reference has been made to a representation dated 15.11.2010 (P4), which is still pending undecided. Taking note of facts of this case, we dispose of this writ petition, by directing respondent No.2 to take note and decide representation (P4), filed by the petitioners (if any) and in case any amount is found due to them, the same be released in their favour forthwith if there is no legal hitch. To the contrary, a speaking order be passed. Needful shall be done within two months from the receipt of a copy of this order. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 16.03.2011 (Rakesh Kumar Garg) gk Judge
