The remaining land, on which there is a Kutia, was acquired and the award was made.

Now, the prayer of the petitioners is that if under the planning of the Chandigarh Administration, the aforesaid Kutia cannot be released from acquisition, then an alternative site be provided to the petitioners CWP No. 19684 of 2009 -2- as per its policy. Learned counsel states that in this regard, a representation dated 11.12.2009, copy of which has been annexed with the petition as Annexure P-15, has been submitted to the Land Acquisition Collector, Chandigarh (respondent No.5 herein), which has not been decided so far. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioners, without issuing notice of motion, as it will un-necessary delay the matter, we dispose of this writ petition with liberty to the petitioners to pursue the aforesaid representation (Annexure P-15) and hope that the concerned authorities will take a decision on the same, in accordance with law, expeditiously.
