Parties through their counsel.

2.

The Petitioners by these two Petitions have challenged the acquisition proceedings which were initiated by the Special Land Acquisition Officer. The grievance of the petitioners is that though the acquisition proceedings had lapsed, the entries made in the Revenue record reserving the land for project affected persons have not been deleted.

Heard the learned counsel for the parties.

4.

There is no dispute that the acquisition proceedings in respect of the subject land have lapsed and a formal notification to that effect is remained to be issued. We, therefore, direct Respondent No.2 to direct his officials to delete the entries of reservation from the Revenue record of the land owned by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible and in any case within a period of six weeks from today. 5.

Both the Petitions are accordingly disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
