Holding
The Court disposed of the petition without addressing the merits and ordered the Collector, Dahod, to decide the 2009 representation within four months and communicate a reasoned order.
Summary
The petitioners sought a writ of mandamus directing the State of Gujarat to allot a 7‑acre parcel of land in Muvaliya village and to act on a representation filed on 25‑08‑2009. They also requested interim protection against disturbance of possession. The Court, after hearing counsel, declined to rule on the substantive merits of the land‑allotment claim. Instead, it directed the Collector of Dahod to decide the 2009 representation within four months and to issue a reasoned order. The petition was disposed of without any substantive opinion on the mandamus claim, and direct service of the order was permitted.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioners are entitled to a writ of mandamus directing the State to allot the disputed land
- Whether the representation filed by the petitioners on 25‑08‑2009 must be decided by the Collector within a specified time
