There is no dispute that the District Collector, Aurangabad is the Deputy Custodian of evacuee properties falling under the Evacuee Property Department, Central Government, New Delhi. 3.

In view of the above, this petition is disposed off. We direct respondent No.2 to issue notices to the parties involved in the Proceedings registered as 774/2016, and by granting a reasonable opportunity of participation and hearing in the said proceedings,
(3) decide the same as expeditiously as possible and preferably, on or before 31/03/2022.
