The Division Bench of Justice M. S. Sonak and Justice Bharat P. Deshpande noted that since the Government has already notified the Board, the prayer in the present petition stands substantially redressed.
D. Pangam, Advocate General submitted that the process for providing the Scheme will start and such scheme will be notified as fast as possible within a period of six months.
The other grievances of the petitioner with regard to conversion and development within such command area could be looked into by the reconstituted Board , observed by the High Court.
