4. At the asking of Court, Mr. Harish Nain, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana accepts notice on behalf of the respondent/State and submits that in case, the aforesaid legal notice dated 25.09.2023 (Annexure P-7) has been served and received in the concerned Office then the same shall be looked into/decided, in accordance with law, by the concerned authority and an appropriate speaking order will be passed.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the paper book with their able assistance.
6. Since the petitioners claim to have served a legal notice dated 25.09.2023 (Annexure P-7) upon the concerned authority, accordingly, without commenting anything on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the instant writ petition by directing respondent No.2, i.e. Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Forest Department Haryana, Sector-6, Van Bhawan, Panchkula, to look into, consider and decide the aforesaid legal notice 25.09.2023 (Annexure P-7) by passing a speaking order within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order. It goes without saying that in case, the petitioners are entitled to any relief, the same be granted to them, in accordance with law.
7. Present petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
8. All pending application(s), if any, shall also stand closed.
