1. The affidavit of service as filed today by the learned Advocate for the petitioners is taken on record.
2. Learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the petitioners undertakes to file additional Court fees within three working days from today in the Department. In the event, such Additional Court Fees are filed, the Department is directed to accept the same and to submit a report of compliance in my Chamber.
3. The grievance of the writ petitioners in the instant writ petition are non-consideration of their representations, copies of which are annexed at paragraph nos.45 to 53 by the respondent no.3 authority whereby and whereunder the present writ petitioners requested the respondent no.3 authority to disburse the compensation as payable to them in accordance with law.
4. Learned Advocate appearing for the respondent State in his usual fairness submitted before this Court that respondent no.3 may be directed to consider the representation of the writ petitioners in accordance with law.
5. In view of such, this Court while disposing the instant writ petition directs the respondent no.3 authority to consider the representations of the writ petitioners as have annexed at page nos.45 to 53 of the instant writ petition in accordance with law and after giving a fair chance of hearing to the writ petitioners and/or their authorized representatives shall pass a reasoned order and shall forthwith communicate the same to the writ petitioners soon thereafter. The entire exercise as indicated in the forgoing paragraphs shall have to be completed by the respondent no.3 authority positively within 90 working days from the date of communication of the server copy of this order along with the copies of the representations of the writ petitioners as have at page nos.45 to 53.
6. The time limit as fixed by this Court is peremptory and mandatory.
7. With the aforementioned observation, the instant writ petition is disposed of.
8. Before parting with it is, however, made clear that while disposing the instant writ petition, this Court has not gone into the merits
of the representations as referred to above and thus, all points are kept open for adjudication by the respondent no.3 authority.
9. There shall be no order as to costs.
10. Urgent photostat certified copies of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities.
