The learned counsel for the water authority, on instructions, submits that the petitioners are entitled to allotment as sought for, however that the matter is delayed only because of the requirements further for consideration of some issues by the revenue department, following the judgment of this court in WP (C) 16726 of 2009.

Taking all the aforesaid circumstances into consideration and recording the submission on behalf of the water authority, it is ordered that respondents shall do the needful following the judgment in WP(C)16727 of 2009 and this judgment and ensure that the petitioners are given the lands including title and possession thereto, at the earliest, at any rate, within a period of Wpc 25441/2009 2 four months. Endeavour has to be made for expeditious action, since the intention is to provide succor to persons who have been deprived of their homes by reason of acquisition.
