Though no concrete proof with regard to construction of the road on the land owned by the petitioners has been annexed by the petitioners with the petition, but learned counsel for the petitioners states that in this regard, the petitioners have already served a legal notice upon the respondents, copy of which has been annexed with the petition as CWP No. 18987 of 2009 -2- Annexure P-2, but the respondents are not taking any step for getting the land demarcated and to pay compensation for the part of the land, which has been utilised by them for construction of the aforesaid road. In view of this fact, learned counsel states that at this stage, the petitioners will be satisfied if a direction is issued to the Superintending Engineer, PWD B&R Circle, Rewari (respondent No.3 herein) to consider and decide the said legal notice in accordance with law, within a reasonable time. In view of the above, without issuing notice of motion as it will un-necessary delay the matter, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.3 to consider and decide the legal notice dated 17.9.2009 (Annexure P-2) in accordance with law, by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
