CORAM: B.P. DHARMADHIKARI &
MRS. SWAPNA JOSHI, JJ.
DATED: 25th January, 2018 ORAL JUDGMENT: (PER B.P.DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
1. On 15th December 2017, we have recorded absence of counsel for petitioners. After briefly looking into facts, prima facie, we felt that controversy may not survive. Accordingly, we asked certain clarifications from respondents. Respondent no.2- Collector, Chandrapur has filed an affidavit on 18.01.2018 stating that villagers who initially opposed rehabilitation site, have now agreed to to it and shifted there.
2. Respondent nos. 3 to 5 namely, Maharashtra State Electricity Board (then), have filed submissions on 22.01.2018. Its copy is also served upon counsel, whose name appears as counsel representing the petitioners therein. They have pointed out that out of 312 displaced persons, employment has been provided to several persons. About 220 project affected persons are engaged and 55 persons are under training as 'Pragat Kushal Prashikshnarthi'; 4 persons being trained under 'Sarva Samaveshak Yojana', 32 persons are on waiting list and as per full Bench judgment of this Court, in the case of Rajendra Pandurang Pagare vs. State of Maharashtra and others, reported at 2009 (4) Mh.L.J. 961, the said persons will be given employment. One out of 312 has given up the claim for employment and has accepted compensation.
3. In view of this affidavit, we find that practically the controversy has been ::: Uploaded on - 30/01/2018 ::: Downloaded on - 31/01/2018 01:18:16 ::: wp.1835.02 3 rendered infructuous and the grievance appears to be largely redressed.
4. Accordingly, we dispose of this Writ Petition. Rule discharged. No costs.
