PER COURT:- 1.
The Petitioner has put forth prayer Clauses 'B' and 'C' as under:- "B.
The Honourable Court be pleased to issue writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, directing respondents to release the land bearing Gut No.166, situated at village Tisgaon Tal. & Dist. Aurangabad, totally admeasuring 9 H 31 R, to the extent of area owned by the Petitioner, affected by reservation for I. Veg Market: 200.06 square meters, ii. Fish & Mutton Market: 1101.87 square meters, iii. Institution: 2381.72 square meters and iv. 18 Meter + 15 Meter Wide Development Plan Road: 2800 square meters in the Development Plan for notified CIDCO area sanctioned by the Government of Maharashtra by the notification dated 14.08.2001 and grant permission for Development to the Petitioner, as permissible to the adjacent land owners.
C.
The Honourable Court be pleased to issue writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, directing the respondent no.1 to issue a notification in terms of section 127 (2) of Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, thereby notifying release of land bearing Gut No.166, situated at village Tisgaon Tal. & Dist. Aurangabad, totally admeasuring 9 H 31 R, to the extent of area owned by the Petitioner, affected by reservation for I. Veg Market: 200.06
(2) 920-wp-426-2023 square meters, ii. Fish & Mutton Market: 1101.87 square meters, iii. Institution: 2381.72 square meters and iv. 18 Meter + 15 Meter Wide Development Plan Road: 2800 square meters in the Development Plan for notified CIDCO area sanctioned by the Government of Maharashtra by the notification dated 14.08.2001."
2.
The affidavit-in-reply on behalf of CIDCO has been filed. The learned Advocate representing CIDCO opposes the Petition on the ground that CIDCO being a Planning Authority has dedicated itself to have a planned development and in the process of achieving this object, it has identified social facilities and places for garden, play grounds, schools, dispensary centers, community centers etc.. The entire philosophy behind reservation is set out in the affidavit-in-reply. However, it is conceded that after the purchase notice was received by CIDCO, Notification under Section 19 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 has not been issued.
3.
Considering the above, we do not find that the contentions of the CIDCO could be entertained to refute the request of the Petitioner for releasing the land from reservation. 4.
In view of the above, this Petition is allowed in terms of prayer Clauses 'B' and 'C'.
5.
Respondent No.1 shall issue an appropriate Notification within a period of 90 days from today. (S. G. CHAPALGAONKAR) (RAVINDRA V. GHUGE) JUDGE JUDGE Devendra/February-2024
