NISHITA MHATRE & S.S. SHINDE, JJ. DATE : 13th April 2011 PER COURT 1. The present petitions have been preferred by several petitioners contending that the order dated 22.12.2008 passed by the Sub Divisional Officer, Pundalika Project Sub Division, Beed rejecting the objections raised by them under Section 5(A) of the Land Acquisition Act, is illegal. 2. The learned Assistant Government Pleader states on instructions received from the Special Land Acquisition Officer, J.P.

A copy of this letter dated 11.4.2011 is taken on record and marked “X” for identification. 3. In view of this letter, the petitions have become infructuous and are, therefore, dismissed.
