2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he prays for a direction to the respondent-authorities for grant of compensation amount with interest of the land used and taken by the respondents for construction of public road which has been not acquired as per provision of law, therefore the petitioner has made application/representation Annexure P/11 but till date the same has not been considered, therefore he prays for a direction to the concerned authorities to consider and decide the petitioner’s case for grant of compensation.

¶27

3. Learned counsel for respondents submits that in view of the limited prayer made by the learned counsel for petitioner seeking direction to respondents to consider the pending application towards payment of compensation, he is having no objection to the limited prayer and if the application of the petitioner is pending, it will be considered in accordance with law.

¶28

4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record.

¶29

5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case instead of keeping this petition pending, I find it appropriate to dispose of the same at this stage directing the respondent-authorities to register the case of the petitioner for grant of compensation and decide the same on its own merits within 6 months from the date of receipt of copy of this order in accordance with law.
