remove the encroachments. Even hearing was given. But no further steps are taken by the government authorities. It is laxity on the part of the government authorities concerned in not taking any steps, pursuant to the show cause notices issued by them. The government authorities are duty bound to take action and ensure that action pursuant to show cause notice is taken to its logical end. However, no such steps are taken. Now it is submitted that according to Government Resolution dated 16th February, 2018, the proposals are given by the encroacher for relaxation. The authorities are not expected to deal with the proposals belatedly. The authorities are, in fact, expected to consider the said Government Resolution in its entirety. The encroachers may file their proposals, if they so desire. Such proposals should be decided by the authority in its right earnest and in terms of the policy framed by the government without deviating from the terms and conditions therein. The proposals shall not be kept pending by the authorities. Certainly, relief cannot be given to the persons indulging in illegal acts for a longer period. The authority shall decide the proposals which have been received by it within a period of six months positively. No extension of time would be granted for deciding the said proposals. Upon decision of such proposals, the authority shall take immediate action with regard to encroachment in tune with the decision taken without any delay and with diligence.
