MHASE & CORAM: S. B. MHASE & CORAM: S. B. MHASE & D.B.BHOSALE, JJ. D.B.BHOSALE, JJ. D.B.BHOSALE, JJ. DATE: January 7, 2009. DATE: January 7, 2009. DATE: January 7, 2009. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard both sides. In the presence of the District Resettlement Officer this Court had passed order dated 20th October 2008 directing to make an enquiry into the application made by the petitioner and to find out whether the petitioner is entitled to allotment of land, and if he is found to be eligible allotment be made in his favour. That enquiry was directed to be completed upto 31st December 2008. 2. Both the counsel are not in a position to state whether as on today the enquiry has been completed or not. 3. However, we find that since the direction has already been given to the District Resettlement Officer to consider the application of the petitioner, the Resettlement Officer will have to consider the said application on its :2: :2: :2: own merits and has to decide as to whether the petitioner is entitled for the allotment or not. Thereby the grievance of the petitioner that his application is not being considered has been resolved by this Court. If thereafter on the reasons recorded, if the District Resettlement Officer refuses to give land to the petitioner the said order will be a subject matter of the separate petition. That cannot be considered in this petition. In the result, we find that the grievance which existed at the time when the petition was filed, stands redressed as a result of the order dated 20th October 2008. Therefore we find that the petition is already disposed of. 4. However, now we only direct the Collector and the District Resettlement Officer to complete the enquiry, if as per the directions issued in the order dated 20th October 2008, the enquiry has not been completed by the District Resettlement Officer, within a period of four weeks from today. Report in respect of the completion of the said enquiry shall be filed in this Court. 5. If we find that the enquiry is not completed by that time, we make it clear to the Collector and the District Resettlement Officer that they will be required to face the contempt proceedings. 6. Learned AGP to intimate this order to the Collector and the District Resettlement Officer forthwith. :3: :3: :3: (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
