PER COURT :-

¶9

We have perused the affidavits sworn by one Vikas Shahaji Gaival and Vikram Vishwanath Birangal, claiming that they have not consented for presenting instant Public Interest Litigation.

¶10

Inspite of the affidavits tendered by the concerned petitioners, on reading the complaint at page no. 88 presented to the Collector, we are of the opinion that the alleged illegalities need to be inquired into by the Collector. It is alleged in the complaint that the land Gat No.55 situate at village Chinchpur, taluka Paranda, district Osmanabad, was allotted to one Bhagwan Santu Thakare. It is alleged that the said land has been acquired by the State Government in the year 1993-1994 and amount of compensation has been paid to said Thakre. It is further alleged that the very same land, which has been acquired by the State Government, has been purchased by Pearl Sugars Ltd., and
