JUDGMENT : DEEPAK ROSHAN, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. Matter relates to timely completion of Subarnrekha Multipurpose River valley Project, Chandil. During the pendency of this PIL, several affidavits have been filed from time to time. When the matter was taken up on 23.12.2022, following order was passed. The matter has been taken up after a long time i.e., November 2015. The writ petition was preferred with an objective to ensure that the Subarnrekha Multipurpose Project, Chandil which was commenced in March 1977 and yet not completed in all phases, be completed within a time frame. The other grievance which appears to have been raised by the writ petitioner have been taken note in the order dated 07.02.2014 regarding the rehabilitation of displaced persons. It appears that no such list of persons were provided by the petitioner of the affected families in the two phases in respect of which rehabilitation was done. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submits today that the issue relating to rehabilitation may be individual specific, who have a remedy before the concerned authority or appropriate forum. Therefore, this Court may confine the prayer of the writ petition only to the expeditious completion of the project. Learned counsel for the State, A.A.G-I Mrs. Darshana Poddar Mishra seeks time to obtain the latest status of the project and also the expected time line within which the project is likely to be completed. Let an Affidavit be filed within 4 weeks. Matter be listed in the week of 06.02.2023. 3. Thereafter, supplementary counter affidavit has been filed by the Respondents on 15.02.2023. Learned A.A.G-I submits that it has been conveyed by the Respondents that the delay in completion of canal and distribution system is primarily due to delay in the land acquisition process. Respondents have indicated that all efforts have been made to accelerate the progress and complete the project by the end of March 2026. Since it is an ongoing process and involves not only land acquisition proceeding, but construction activity and rehabilitation of displaced persons also, the writ petition may be disposed of as the Respondents are themselves conscious of completing the project in a time bound manner. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that given the stand of the Respondents in their latest supplementary affidavit, the writ petition can be disposed of in that light. 5. 4.
