Be that as it may, the Assistant Government Pleader on the basis of the instructions received, has made a statement that application dated 6th January 2009 is pending and further informed this court that the said application shall be disposed of accordingly in accordance with law by the Collector Kolhapur at the earliest and the petitioner shall be informed. It is made clear that if the earlier application made by the petitioner under the same provisions of law has already been disposed of by the Collector, in that event the second application is expected to be dealt with accordingly in accordance with law by the Collector and the petitioner be informed. With these observations the writ petition is disposed of. (D. D. SINHA, J.) ( A. A. SAYED, J.)
