Mr. Mohnish Sharma, Advocate present in the Court on behalf of Mr. Narender Hooda, Advocate has been asked to accept notice on behalf of respondents. Keeping in view the nature of relief claimed and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this petition is being disposed of at the motion stage itself. Land of the petitioners' families was acquired for establishment of Thermal Plant at Panipat. At the time of acquisition the Govt. had notified a policy dated 6.5.1984 (Annexure P-1) for providing employment to at least one member of the family of the land owner whose land was acquired. Under the policy non-matriculates were to be appointed on daily wage basis, whereas matriculates were to be appointed on other posts. The grievance of the petitioners is that their land has been acquired but no employment has been given to any member of their families. Petitioners made a representation (Annexure P-2) in this respect but no decision has been taken thereon till date. CWP. No. 22569 of 2010 -2- Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners would be satisfied, if, respondents are directed to take decision on the representation of the petitioners, referred to above. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.5 to take decision on the representation of the petitioners, within a period of three months from the date certified copy of this order is served upon the said respondent. Needless to say that in the event the claim of the petitioners is to be rejected, the same shall be by a reasoned and speaking order. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 17.12.2010. lucky
