Heard Shri Ramendra Asthana, learned counsel for the petitioners, and Shri Fuzail Ahmad Ansari, learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondents. 2. The present writ petition has been filed seeking issuance of an appropriate writ, order, or direction in the nature of mandamus, restraining the respondent authorities from carrying out any construction over the disputed land until the same is formally acquired and compensation is paid in accordance with law. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are the owners and are in possession of their respective plots. The Public Works Department has commenced a road widening project, and in furtherance of the same, the petitioners' land has been acquired without initiating any proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act or the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. No compensation has been paid to the petitioners till date. He confines his prayer to the limited relief that the grievance of the petitioners be considered by the District Level Committee in light of the Government Order dated 12.05.2016. 4. In response, the learned Standing Counsel submits that in the event the petitioners submit a fresh representation, the same shall be examined by the District Level Committee for determination of compensation, if any, in accordance with the aforesaid Government Order. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that no useful purpose would be served by keeping the writ petition pending. Accordingly, with the consent of the parties, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to submit a fresh representation before the District Level Committee, detailing all their grievances. If such representation is submitted within two weeks from today, the Committee shall consider and decide the same on its own merits and in accordance with law, after affording due opportunity of hearing to all the stakeholders. The decision shall be taken expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from the date of submission of the representation, in light of the Government Order dated 12.05.2016.
