The learned Government Pleader has filed affidavit in reply on behalf of the State. - 2 - . All the petitions seek similar relief, that is rehabilitation and, therefore, the petitions are being disposed off by a common order. . Mr.Masurkar has placed before us a chart which indicates that the cases of the petitioners were not considered for rehabilitation on account of certain deficiencies as have been pointed out against each of the petitioners’ name in the remarks column in the said chart. A copy of the said chart is marked "X" for identification. . Mr.Masurkar on instructions of the officers present in Court states that if the deficiencies as shown in the case of each of the petitioners are removed, the State Government and the officers concerned would consider the petitioners’ case for rehabilitation and take appropriate steps for rehabilitation of the petitioners within a fixed period. . Mr.Sawant for the petitioners - 3 - states that the deficiencies, as pointed out, shall be removed within a period of 2 months and Mr.Masurkar states that within 4 months of removal of deficiencies, the petitioners will be resettled in accordance with the rights the petitioners have under the Maharashtra Resettlement of Project Displaced Persons Act, 1976 (for short "the said Act"). . We, therefore, direct the petitioners at the first instance to comply with the deficiencies as pointed out against their names in the chart marked "X" as expeditiously as possible and, in any event, within 2 months from today. On this compliance by the petitioners, the respondents are directed to take steps for resettlement as required under the said Act and complete the resettlement within 4 months thereafter. . The petitions are disposed off in terms of the above directions. (D.G. KARNIK, J.) (B.H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
