Learned standing counsel, on instructions, submits that no details are given by the petitioners about the area where their property is located and no layout particulars are furnished and, therefore, it has become difficult to Municipality to verify the claim of the petitioners and if petitioners furnish property particulars in support of their claim, matter will be examined. 3.

A decision to that extent should be taken and the petitioners be informed as

expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of such application. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO kkm
