__________________________________________________________
                   This petition coming on for orders this day, the Court passed the
following:


                                       ORDER

Learned Additional Advocate General submits that the

judgment in issue is being implemented in letter and spirit, as the process

has already been initiated to acquire the land. This fact has not been

disputed by Mr. Thakur, learned counsel for the petitioners. In this view of

the matter, these proceedings are ordered to be closed and notices

discharged, but with the observation that proceedings of acquisition be

completed as expeditiously as possible, strictly as per the statutory

provisions of the Act.
