¶1Heard Sri Vishal Khandelwal, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the State.

¶2Solitary grievance of the petitioner appears to be that despite the Award dated 24.08.2017 made in her favour providing for monetary compensation for compulsory acquisition of his valuable land bearing plot no.92/1 situated in village Sisroi Nagla Dak, Tehsil Koli, District Aligarh admeasuring 48 sq. meters and also despite her representation dated 31.05.2023 to release the awarded amount in her favour, respondent no.2 has not taken any decision and has not released the necessary compensation amount.

¶3Facts are uncertain, therefore, no useful purpose may be served in keeping the writ petition pending or calling for a counter affidavit at this stage. The writ petition is disposed of with the direction, subject to the petitioner filing a copy of this order before respondent no.2, the said respondent may proceed to consider and decide petitioner's representation dated 31.05.2023 (annexure no.4 to the writ petition), as expeditiously as possible, by a reasoned and speaking order, preferably within a period of three months. It is further expected, any amount that may be admittedly payable to the petitioner, would be paid out, within the same time. Order Date :- 14.12.2023 Abhishek Singh (S. S. Prasad, J.) (S. D.
