¶20

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that plot of land owned by the petitioners was put to under acquisition by the State Government on behalf of Ajmer Development Authority. However, during the proceedings, petitioners submitted a surrender deed for surrendering their plot of land against acquisition proceedings and prayed for allotting developed land as per the scheme/policy of the State Government. Learned counsel submits that such surrender deed was submitted by the petitioners on 29.07.2022. As per circular dated 27.10.2005, the petitioner is entitled for developed land against acquisition of land, yet till date, the petitioners have not been allotted the developed land, which is clear cut violation of Article 300-A of the Constitution of India, which mandates that no citizen shall be deprived of his property without due process of law.

¶21

Learned counsel submits that till date, even monetary compensation has neither been paid nor accepted by the petitioners.

¶22

Learned counsel further submits that as the respondents were sitting tight over the application/surrender deed of the petitioners and no order was passed, petitioners moved one application under Right to Information Act for gathering knowledge in respect of proceedings for allotment of developed land. In response thereof, the petitioner received one letter dated 01.12.2023, in which, it was stated that the matter with regard to allotting developed land is under process before the Committee

[2026:RJ-JP:24206]

[CW-10429/2026]

(3 of 3)

and therefore, as and when, any decision is taken by the Committee, the same shall be informed by the petitioner. Learned counsel further submits that since then also substantial time has lapsed and in the meanwhile, petitioner has served legal notice upon the respondents but, the respondents have paid no heed whatsoever.

¶27

Learned counsel submits that the petitioners would be satisfied in case, directions are given to the respondents to take final decision expeditiously for allotting developed land against the acquired land to the petitioners in accordance with law and policy prevailing at the relevant time.

¶28

In view of above limited prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court deems it just and proper to dispose of this writ petition by giving liberty to the petitioners to submit a fresh representation along with all the necessary documents and policy of the State Government. In case, any such representation is moved by the petitioner within a period of 15 days from today, the same shall be considered by the Competent Authority and shall be decided by a speaking and reasoned order within a period of 60 days thereafter.

¶29

Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand(s), disposed of.
