Since common question of law and facts are involved in these writ petitions, hence, with the consent of counsel for the parties, arguments have been heard together and all these writ petitions are being decided by this common order. 2. For the sake of convenience, the facts and prayer incorporated in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.7731/2025 is taken into consideration. 3. The instant writ petition has been filed by the petitioner with the following prayer:- [2025:RJ-JP:21808] (3 of 5) [CW-7731/2025] “It is, therefore, humbly prayed that in the interest of justice this writ petition may kindly be allowed and entire record of the case may kindly be called for and be perused by this Hon'ble Court, and the respondents may be directed not to demolish or to cause any damage to the shop of the petitioner as described in Para 2 of the Writ Petition and the illegal notice dated 13.02.2025 (Annexure 3) may also be quashed and set aside. Any other order or direction which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, same may kindly be given in favour of the petitioner. Cost of the writ petition may kindly be awarded in favour of the petitioner.” 4. By way of filing these writ petitions, a challenge has been made to the impugned notice dated 13.02.2025 issued by the Ajmer Development Authority under Section 67 of the Ajmer Development Authority Act, 2013 (for short, “the Act of 2013”) by which the petitioners have been called upon to submit their reply against the illegal/ unauthorized constructions done by them on the land in question. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are not in illegal occupation of the land in question, they are having valid licence to ply their shops and some of them have submitted application for regularization. Counsel submits that detailed reply to the aforesaid notices have been submitted by the petitioner in the Office of the respondents, but without deciding the same and without passing a reasoned and speaking order, the respondents are bent upon to evict/ eject the [2025:RJ-JP:21808] (4 of 5) [CW-7731/2025] petitioners, hence, under these circumstances, interference of this Court is warranted. 6. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondents opposes the arguments raised by the counsel for the petitioners and submits that as many as 89 identical notices under Section 67 of the Act of 2013 have been served upon different persons out of which 69 persons have submitted their reply and the matter is still under consideration for adjudication and the respondents are not taking any action in these matters until a decision is taken. For ready reference, factual report in this regard has been furnished which also indicates that the same thing is narrated by counsel for the respondents. 7. Considering the above factual aspect of the matter and looking to the fact that reply to the notice under Section 67 of the Act of 2013 has been submitted by the petitioners before the respondent-authorities and the matter is subjudice before the authorities and they are in process of deciding the same by passing a reasoned and speaking order. This Court deems it just and proper to dispose of all these writ petitions by issuing directions to the respondents to decide the reply/ application submitted by the petitioners by passing a reasoned and speaking order strictly in accordance with law expeditiously as early as possible preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. 8. It goes without saying if any adverse order is passed against the petitioners, they would be at liberty to assail the same before the appropriate forum of law within a period of 15 days thereafter. [2025:RJ-JP:21808] (5 of 5) [CW-7731/2025] 9. For a period of three and half months, no action would be taken against the petitioners. 10. Accordingly, the instant writ petitions stand disposed of. Stay application and all pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of. (ANOOP KUMAR DHAND),J Aayush Sharma /5, 19, 20 & 21
