By the present writ petition, the petitioners are seeking a direction towards the respondent No.2/ Collector, Korba to enquire about the family tree (Annexure P/2) prepared by the respondent No.4/ Tahsildar Darri, District Korba on the basis of which the 3 / 4 respondent No.9 has got employment in lieu of the land acquired by the SECL. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the family tree prepared by the respondent No.4 was obtained by respondents No.8 & 9 on the basis of incomplete and false information provided by them. The petitioners have lodged the complaint dated 09/09/2024 (Annexure P/12) before the respondent No.2/ Collector, Korba to enquire about the family tree placed by respondents No.8 & 9 to obtain employment from the SECL but till date no steps has been taken to enquire about the allegation made by the petitioners against the family tree prepared by the Tahsildar at the instance of respondents No.8 & 9. Hence the petitioners seek a direction towards the Collector to take necessary steps for enquiry of the complaint made by them about the family tree as well as the employment provided to the respondent No.9. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the State submits that if the application/complaint filed by the petitioners is still pending before the Collector, the same shall be considered and necessary steps for enquiry of the family tree, will be taken within the stipulated time. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, perused the application moved by the petitioners and the pleadings of the petitioner. 4 / 4 5. Perusal of the documents would show that the petitioners have moved an application/complaint dated 09/09/2024 (Annexure P/12) before the respondent No.2/ Collector, Korba alleging that the respondent No.9 has obtained employment from the SECL by preparing a family tree on the basis of false and fabricated documents provided to the Tahsildar, for which the petitioners are seeking enquiry about the illegality committed by the Tahsildar while preparing the family tree. The petitioners are also seeking enquiry from the Collector regarding the said employment obtained by the respondent No.9. 6. In view of the above, the respondent No.2/ Collector, Korba is directed to consider the application submitted by the petitioners and take necessary steps to examine and enquire about the allegation made by the petitioners by passing a detailed order within a period of 90 days by providing sufficient opportunity of hearing to all the affected parties including the respondents No.8 & 9 in accordance with law. 7.
