LODHA & NARESH H. PATIL, JJ. DATED : 26TH JULY, 2006. P.C. : We heard Mr.M.P. Vashi, counsel for the petitioners and Mr.R.M. Sawant, Government Pleader. 2. On July 12, 2006, the Government Pleader sought time to file reply-affidavit and the matter was adjourned for today. No reply-affidavit has been filed. 3. Though diverse prayers have been made in the writ petition, the counsel for the petitioners prays for one relief only. He submitted that for rectification of error in the final development plan No.105 to 109, Backbay Reclamation, Block No.4, Cuffe Parade, Colaba, representation was given to the Principal Secretary, 2 Urban Development Department, Government of Maharashtra on June 14, 2005. He submitted that the said representation has not been considered by the State Government. 4. In our considered view, the State Government needs to consider the representation made by the petitioners on June 14, 2005 for correction in the final development plan No.105 to 109, Backbay Reclamation, Block No.4, Cuffe Parade, Colaba. 5. At this stage, Mr.Vashi, counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners may be given liberty to submit supplementary representation to the State Government for a comprehensive look with regard to correction in the final development plan No.105 to 109. The prayer is reasonable. 6. We, accordingly, dispose of this writ petition by the following order : i. The petitioners shall be at liberty to make supplementary representation to the State Government with regard to correction alleged in the final development plan No.105 to 109, Backbay Reclamation, Block 3 No.4, Cuffe Parade, Colaba. ii. The State Government shall consider the representation dated June 14, 2005 and the supplementary representation expeditiously and preferably within six months from the date of receipt of supplementary representation and communicate the said decision to the petitioners. The writ petition stands disposed of. (R.M. LODHA, J.) (NARESH H. PATIL, J.)
