THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION Nos.27876 of_2005&15104 of 2008 COMMON ORDER: 1 Petitioners in both the Writ Petitions are one and the same. The former Writ Petition is filed questioning the notification issued by the respondent under section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act (for short ‘the Act’), while the latter Writ Petition is filed questioning the notification issued under section 6 of the Act. 2 By order dated 16.07.2008 in the latter Writ Petition this Court directed Notice Before Admission and in the meanwhile it was provided that the award enquiry as per the impugned notice dated 11.07.2008 may go on, but the same shall not be finalized. It was also made clear that the petitioners shall also participate in the award enquiry. 3 While these matters are coming up for hearing, petitioners had made representations dated 17.08.2011 and 26.08.2011 to the Hon’ble Chief Minister and the learned counsel for the petitioners has now placed the acknowledgements of the office of the Hon’ble Chief Minister, bearing No.14964/GEN/2010 and 12846/CMP/2010 dated 23.08.2010 and 30.10.2010 respectively, before this court. The Xerox copies of the said acknowledgements from the office of the Hon’ble Chief Minister are taken on record. 4 The learned counsel for the petitioners states that out of total extent of Ac.18-20 Guntas held by the petitioners, an extent of Ac.13-15 Guntas land was notified under section 4(1) of the Act, but ultimately the award has been passed with respect to Ac.8-20 Guntas only. The learned counsel for the petitioners further states that in view of the petitioners’ representations being under consideration in the office of the Hon’ble Chief Minister, as evident from the acknowledgements referred to above, he does not press the Writ Petitions. The learned Government Pleader agreed that the petitioners’ representations are under consideration and they will be considered. 5 In view of that, these two Writ Petitions are dismissed as not pressed. No costs. ---------------------------------- VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J. 30.08.2011 Kvsn
