The learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that

neither the Respondents had acquired their property nor

paid any compensation in respect of the same. He submits

that because of the entry in 7/12 extract, it is difficult for

them to deal with their property. Hence, the Writ Petition.

4

On the other hand, the learned AGP for the State

submits that the Government of Maharashtra, by

Government Resolution dated 05.08.2019 constituted a

Committee under the Chairmanship of the Collector to deal

with such type of matters. Therefore, the Petitioner can be

directed to make appropriate application before the

concerned Collector for the same cause of action. Therefore,

there is no question of entertaining the present Writ

Petition.

5

Considering the submissions made by the learned

counsel for the Petitioner and as the Government of

Maharashtra has already issued Government Resolution

dated 05.08.2019 constituting the Committee under the

Chairmanship of Collector to deal with such type of matters,

the petition can be disposed of with the following directions:

a.

The Petitioner is permitted to file an appropriate

application before the concerned Committee as per

Government Resolution dated 05.08.2019 for deleting

the entries from 7/12 extract in respect of land

bearing Gat No.249 admeasuring 1.20 Hectors situate

at village Takali Bhima, Tq. Shirur, Dist. Pune.
