Dr Anjan De, learned counsel for respondent no.1 Council states that the issue involved in the present writ petition is relating to rent of premises i.e. shop blocks which is in occupation of the petitioners in municipal shopping centre. It is submitted that a Committee was constituted to determine fair rent and it was revealed during the meeting held by the Committee on 31.12.2010 that representation of the petitioners 2 dated 26.10.2007 was already decided by the Collector. However, learned counsel for the petitioner states otherwise. Learned Asst. Government Pleader, for want of instructions, is unable to assist the Court on this issue. 4. Be that as it may, on the backdrop of the above- referred facts, we direct respondent no.1 Collector to decide the said representation of the petitioners in accordance with law and procedure applicable in this regard, if not decided earlier, within a period of four weeks from the date of communication of this order. It is made clear that if representation of the petitioners is already decided, respondent no. 1 is directed to communicate the order/decision to the petitioners within two weeks from the date of communication of this order. Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE joshi
