1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 2635 of 2010 Sau Shubhada Prabhakar Marathe ....Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra & ors. ....Respondents Mr. M.S.Karnik for the petitioner. Mr. S.N. Patil-AGP for respondents 1-4 CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND R.M.SAVANT, JJ DATED:- MAY 06, 2010 P.C. Heard Counsel for the parties. 2. The grievance in this Petition is that the Authorities have not complied with the order passed by this Court dated 13th January, 2010 in W.P. No. 9211/2010 in its letter and spirit. In as much as, although the Resettlement Officer, Pune has considered the claim of the Petitioner and has issued allotment order on 26th February, 2010 as the Petitioner has been found to be eligible, but possession of the land so allotted has not been handed over to the Petitioner for reasons best known to the Authorities. 2 3. We are intrigued by the attitude of the District Resettlement Officer, Pune as to why possession of the allotted land is not given to the Petitioner within a reasonable time. We hope and trust that the said official will take all measures as may be necessary to put the Petitioner in possession of the said land as expeditiously as possible and in any case not later than 31st July, 2010. The Petitioner shall produce copy of this order in the office of the District Resettlement Officer, Pune within one week from today to facilitate the said Authority to take follow up measures as may be necessary to comply with the directions contained therein. 4. If for any reason, the land referred to in the order dated 26th February, 2010 Exhibit J at page-47, cannot be made over to the Petitioner, the said Authority would immediately identify some other suitable land to be allotted to the Petitioner in lieu of the land already offered to the Petitioner forthwith and comply with the directions under this order within the same time. 5. We place on record that the Petitioner has no objection for receiving possession of the land referred to in the order dated 26th February, 2010, Exhibit J. 3 6. Petition disposed of on the above terms. (R.M. SAVANT, J) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J)
