In the instant writ petition the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent authorities to settle some lands for business purposes to the petitioner under section 43 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. The petitioner based his claim on the premise that he suffered serious injuries at the hands of the criminals and has become 100% disabled for which Goh P.S. Case No.83/93 dated 12.12.1993 under sections 324, 307/34 of I.P.C. and section 27 Arms Act was registered. In this connection he has drawn my attention to the certificate dated 26.11.2002 granted by the Civil Surgeon cum Chief Medical Officer, Aurangabad, contained in Annexure-3. He further submits that he had passed M.A.(Phil) Annual Examination in the year 1986. The petitioner has drawn my attention to the various communications made by the several authorities requesting the District Magistrate/Collector to consider the settlement of the land in favour of the petitioner. He submits that the Additional Collector, Aurangabad vide letter no.468 dated 6.7.2009 directed all concerned for settling the Government land with the disabled persons. Thereafter, the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities vide Dispatch No.4902 dated 12.8.2009 requested the District Magistrate, Aurangabad for allotment of the 2 KHAN land in favour of the petitioner. Thereafter, the Additional Collector, Aurangabad vide letter no.807 dated 9.9.2009 directed the Circle Officer, Goh for settling the land with the petitioner for business. It is stated that the Deputy Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities vide Dispatch No.6025 dated 30.10.2009 requested the District Magistrate, Aurangabad for allotment of the land in favour of the petitioner. Learned State counsel submits that the Circle officer, Goh vide letter no.605 dated 19.12.2009 informed the Additional Collector, Aurangabad that vide letter no.423 dated 9.10.2009 records have been sent to the Land Reforms Deputy Collector, Daudnagar. The petitioner submits that thereafter he has filed a representation dated 25.11.2009 before the District Magistrate, Aurangabad for settlement of land in his favour for business but no action has been taken as yet. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that the petitioner should file a fresh representation before the Collector, Aurangabad who would dispose of the same within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. However, it would be open to the Collector to consider the letters of the various authorities referred to above. With the aforesaid observation and direction, this writ petition stands disposed of.
