The petitioners while placing reliance upon the order dated 20.4.2021, passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, in SLP No. 5703 of 2021, wherein, specific directions were given to the respondent-State to take formal decision upon application preferred by the petitioners under Section 101A of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (for short, 'the Act of 2013') from the date of receipt of such application and communicate the same to them, within three months. The petitioners have filed the present petition, as no such decision has been taken by the competent authority concerned. They have prayed for issuance of writ of mandamus directing the respondent-Authority to consider their application for releasing the petition land(s) under Section 101A of the Act of 2013, from acquisition.
