The petitioners are claiming rehabilitation as per G.O. dated 3.7.2020 whereby a Committee was constituted for considering the claim of displaced persons. It is submitted that in similar facts and circumstances, a large number of displaced persons filed separate petitions before this Court and the same were disposed of by an order dated 16.1.2025 after hearing the parties. The petitioners of all those cases were permitted to submit their claims along with evidence before the Commissioner of the Division, who is the Chairman of the Committee constituted under G.O. dated 3.7.2020 and a direction was issued to the State Government to take decision in relation to rehabilitation. It is submitted that the petitioners though had not approached this Court on an earlier occasion, tried to submit their claim before the Commissioner, but the same has not been entertained on the pretext that there was no order in favour of the petitioners by this Court.
