Learned counsel for the petitioners has no objection against production of such proof before respondent-authorities. (3). In this view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction that in case the petitioners produce the proof regarding acquisition of their land for construction of Thermal Power Plant at Panipat, the respondents shall consider their claim for employment in the light of the decision of this Court in Rameshwar Singh’s case (supra). The needful shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of proof from the petitioners. (4). Ordered accordingly. (5). Dasti .
