said development plan, a land of the petitioner is shown under the Reservation of a 24 Mt. Development Plan Road. It is the case of the petitioner that in spite of two decades have been passed sanctioning development plan has come into force. Respondents have failed to take effective steps towards the acquisition of said land. The petitioner therefore, has issued a purchase notice under Section 127 of the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act , on 27.08.2004, calling upon the planning authority to acquire the land. The notice also mentioned that the same has been issued on behalf of all the co-owners and the said notice was served on the authorities on 28.08.2024. In pursuance of the said notice, respondent No. 4 has issued communication dated 30.09.2024 stating that location of the land was not clear and further that the notice had not been issued by all the land owners and inquiring about the willingness to submit a consent letter from all the land owners. The said communication also offered compensation in the form of either Transferable Development Rights (for short “TDR”) or Reservation Credit Certificate (for short “RCC”). The offer made by the respondent authorities was accepted by petitioner No. 1 on 14.05.2025. In pursuance to this, we have sought instructions from the learned Advocate representing respondent Nos. 4 and 5 as to within how much time, the said RCC certificate will be issued to the petitioners. Learned Advocate for respondent Nos. 4 and 5 submitted that the
