None appears for the petitioner to press the petition. 2. Heard Shri Devesh Vikram, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel appearing for the State-respondents. 2. The instant writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to respondent no. 2 to consider and decide the petitioner's representation dated 04.12.2024, and further, to issue a direction to the respondent authorities to pay compensation to the petitioner in accordance with the prevailing circle rate. 3. At the very outset, learned Standing Counsel informed to the Court that for redressal of grievance of tenure holders, claiming certain right/title over their land, the State Government had issued detailed Government Order dated 12.05.2016, which provides that in case the claimant files claim supported with requisite documents, the same would be considered by the District Level Committee for ensuring adequate compensation in the light of Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. He submits that once the efficacious remedy is available to the petitioner, the matter should be relegated to the District Level Committee, which may examine the claim of petitioner within a reasonable time and submit its report to the Chairman/District Magistrate, who may accord adequate compensation accordingly. 4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the relief prayed in the instant matter, we dispose of the instant petition with liberty to the petitioner to make fresh representation along with true attested copy of the instant order before District Level Committee constituted under the Government Order dated 12.05.2016 within two weeks. In the event, such representation is made, the District Level Committee shall consider the claim of the petitioners and ensure that the proceeding shall be finalised expeditiously, preferably within twelve weeks, thereafter.
