¶10

Learned counsel for petitioner submits that documents received from the revenue authorities were submitted vide application of 18^th July, 2017 (Annexure P-12) which were duly received by the respondent.

¶11

The deficiencies in the application was made known to petitioner and similarly situated persons, by way of public notice in the leading newspapers.

¶12

Upon hearing and on perusal of impugned order and the material on record, I find that for the delay occasioned in not furnishing the requisite documents, petitioner ought to be put to terms.

¶13

In the facts and circumstances of this case, it is deemed appropriate to give one opportunity to petitioner to make up the deficiencies, while putting petitioner to terms. Subject to petitioner depositing cost of `15,000/- with Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund within a period of six weeks and upon producing the proof of deposit alongwith the documents sought, petitioner’s application for allotment of alternate plot in lieu of the acquired land, be reconsidered within a period of sixteen weeks and the fate of petitioner’s application be made known to him within four weeks thereafter, so that petitioner may avail of the remedies as available in law, if need be.

¶14

With the aforesaid directions, this petition is disposed of.
