Heard Sri Karthik Shah, learned counsel representing learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for the respondents. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners herein 3. are the neighbouring land owners of the respondent No.6 and purchased their respective lands through valid sale deeds. He further submits that before entering into the agreement with the vendor, the 1®' petitioner approached the 5‘^ respondent by way of RTl application to get clarity on the panchayat road and sought infornnation pertaining to the lands and approvals of the 6'^ respondent. Upon which, the 5"^ respondent issued proceedings dated 31.05.2024 informing that the land adjacent to the BT Road in Sy.No.136/1 is shown as 20 feet road in all the plans and the 20 feet road is finally considered as Panchayat Road. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that at the time of purchasing the lands by the petitioners, the alleged CC road was originally classified as panchayat road which is utilised as common passage/ rasta by the petitioners along with some other villagers. Later, the petitioners and other villagers approached respondent No.5 to provide drainage connection to their lands after laying down the CC road over the panchayat road. While things stood thus, without making the petitioners herein as proper parties, respondent No.6 filed a writ petition vide W.P.No.2618 of 2025 requesting for removal of 20 feet CC road alleging that the CC road was laid over his land. He further submits that after filing the writ petition, the e'*" respondent is causing obstructions to the petitioners and other villagers and all are facing lot of inconvenience for entering into the their lands through a common passage i.e.,CC road. For which, the petitioners’ herein submitted a representation dated 03.01.2025 to the respondent No.5 requesting not to obstruct the common passage which is being utilised by the petitioners as well as other villagers. Even after receipt of the said representation, the respondent authorities neither considered the same nor issued any other proceedings. Hence the writ petition. 4. 5. On the other hand, learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents would submit that the representation dated 03.01.2025 submitted by the petitioners would be considered by the respondent authorities, in accordance with law, within a reasonable time. 6. Having regard to the submissions made by both the learned counsel and on perusal of the material placed on record, this court is of the considered view that the present writ petition can be disposed of, directing the respondent authorities, more particularly, 5*^ respondent herein to consider the representation dated 03.01.2025 submitted by the petitioners and pass appropriate orders, with reference to the proceedings dated 31.05.2025 issued by the respondent No.5, after providing opportunity of hearing to both the parties, in accordance with law, within a period of four (04) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
