COMMON ORDER:

Learned counsel for petitioners contended that petitioners were assigned lands in the respective survey numbers. Pursuant to the assignment granted, they are in possession and enjoyment of the same and the lands were not resumed. According to petitioners, the very same lands are now sought to be requisitioned by the State Government for the purpose of establishing the Textile Park. Having came to know that the Government is in favour of establishing Textile Park, petitioners made representations to pay them ex-gratia for resuming the land and also to provide employment as per the scheme envisaged in the proposed Textile Park plan. Alleging inaction in disposing the said representations and paying the compensation, these writ petitions are filed. 2.

On the contrary, learned Assistant Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that as the assignment conditions are violated long ago by the assignees, the respective extents of the lands were resumed and lands actually vests in the Government, therefore, the claim of the petitioners is not valid.
