Meghe, Counsel for the petitioner, Smt. B.H. Dangre, Addl. G.P. for the respondent. CORAM:- D.B. BHOSALE AND P. B. VARALE, JJ. DATED :- 16 th JUNE, 2010 Heard learned Counsel for the parties. Learned Counsel for the parties submit that we need not record reasons for disposing of this writ petition and they have agreed for the following order; i) The order dated 12-3-2009 passed by the Collector, Bhandara on the application filed by the petitioner dated 10-09-2008 is set aside. ii) The application dated 10-09-2008 is restored to file. The Collector shall decide the said application afresh after allowing the petitioner to furnish further documents, if he so desires and after giving him an opportunity of being heard, as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of this order. It is needless to state that the Collector shall decide the said application in the light of the Government Policy and the 2 Resolutions, if any, issued in respect thereof. iii) In view of the concession given by the learned A.G.P., on instructions from the Collector, the Collector shall not reject the petitioner's application on the grounds on which the earlier application is rejected on 12-3-2009. It appears by the order dated 12-3-2009 that the Collector had rejected the petitioner's application holding that he does not fall within the definition of 'project' as contemplated by Section 2(10) of the Maharashtra Project Affected Persons Rehabilitation Act. With these observations, Writ Petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE pma
