1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR ORDER SB Civil Writ Petition No. 6246/2002 Ankur Mills Ltd Vs The Rajasthan State Industrial Development & Investment Corporation Ltd & ors 18.12.2010 HON'BLE MR JUSTICE MN BHANDARI Mr NK Maloo - for petitioner Mr Ajeet Bhandari – for respondents BY THE COURT: The matter was deferred from time to time as there was a chance of settlement between the parties but despite deferring the matter no positive result has come forward. Learned counsel for petitioner states that detailed proposal has been given to the respondents for their consideration. Respondents have refused to consider the same due to pendency of the writ petition or unless direction is given by this court for such consideration. Learned counsel for respondents submits that proposal given by the petitioner is not at all workable, suitable or acceptable thus could not be considered. If the petitioner can come 2 with reasonable proposal, matter may be looked into by the respondents. I have considered rival submissions of learned counsel for parties and perused the record. Looking to the fact that petitioner has already made proposal to the respondents, they are directed to look into it. If need be, petitioner may be called for negotiation. Final decision on the proposal already made may be taken by the respondents within a period of 45 days from today. If the proposal is not found to be acceptable and negotiation results in no settlement, petitioner may be informed accordingly within the period given above. In that case, petitioner would be at liberty to take legal recourse so as the respondents. For a period of 45 days from today, parties shall maintain status quo as it existed today or till final decision on the proposal is taken, whichever is earlier. With the aforesaid directions/ observations, this writ petition is disposed of. (MN Bhandari) J. bnsharma
