-1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 8358 OF 2009 Ganesh Dyanoba Boddu and others ... Petitioners versus The State of Maharashtra and others ...Respondents Ashok B. Tajane for the petitioners. Smt. S.S. Bhende, AGP, for the State. CORAM: P.B. MAJMUDAR & R.M. SAVANT, JJ. DATE: JUNE 11, 2010. P.C. The grievance of the petitioners is that even though they had made a representation to the Collector, Solapur, respondent No.2, for regularising the encroachment bearing Gat No. 53/1 situate at Grampanchayat Mulegaon Tanda, Tal. South Solapur, the same has not been disposed of by the Collector. With a view to see that the representation made by the petitioners is decided by the Collector one way or the other, we permit the petitioners to make a fresh joint representation pointing out the factual aspect of the matter to the Collector within two weeks from today. If any representation is made by the petitioners, the Collector shall take a decision on the same in accordance with law within a period of four months and thereafter communicate the decision to the petitioners in connection with the subject matter. Such communication shall be -2- treated as a valid communication. The Collector is not obliged to intimate the decision to each of the petitioners individually. This direction is given in view of the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners that the representation preferred by the petitioners has not yet decided. If the second respondent has already decided the representation and communicated the decision to the petitioners, it will not be obligatory on the part of the second respondent to decide the same again. Petition is disposed of accordingly. Notice discharged. Learned AGP to communicate this order to the concerned Collector forthwith. P. B. MAJMUDAR, J. R.M. SAVANT, J.
