Dev Singh And Another .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P. And 4 Others .....Respondent(s) Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013 (in short 'Act, 2013') instead of best endeavour, till date, the actual benefit had not been extended in favour of the petitioners. Such indecisiveness of respondent authority impelled the petitioners to invoke the writ jurisdiction. 4. Learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel in this backdrop submits that some time may be accorded to receive the detailed instructions. 5. Considering the relief as prayed for, we have occasion to peruse the report as submitted way back on 03.03.2023 to respondent no. 2. In view of the facts and circumstances, no useful purpose would be served in keeping this writ petition pending consideration. With the consent of the parties, the instant writ petition stands disposed of with an observation that in case the respondent no.2, Collector/District Magistrate, Lalitpur has already recommended the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Committee report dated 03.03.2023, we expect that the decision is to be made expeditiously preferably within two months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order.
