The\n\n                    authorities are duty bound to decide the objections expeditiously\n\n                    and in accordance with law. In view of the grievances vented\n\n                    out by the applicants, without going into the correctness thereof,\n\n                    we direct the appropriate authority to positively decide the\n\n                    applicants' claim/objections pending consideration, if any,\n Patna High Court CWJC No.8093 of 2019(41) dt.24-12-202117/19within a period of three months from today.However, we clarify that pendency of such\n\n          application/claim/objection would not preclude the authorities in\n\n          either taking over possession or demolishing the structures, as\n\n          already directed in terms of our order dated 23.07.2021.At this stage, Shri Prashant Kumar, learned counsel\n\n          for the applicants/ claimants states that claimants have no intent\n\n          of obstructing the possession being taken or the structure being\n\n          demolished. In fact, the applicants would themselves surrender\n\n          the possession, if not already done and the structure can be\n\n          removed. They undertake to such effect.Statement accepted and taken on record.\n\n                          Parties through the learned counsel be made aware\n\n          of the consequences of breach of undertakings for any breach\n\n          would entail, we would not hesitate to initiate proceeding for\n\n          contempt if anyone of the land owners obstruct the process of\n\n          taking over of possession or removal of structure on the road.Application stands disposed of in the aforesaid\n\n          terms.Needless to add, all contentions raised by the\n\n          applicants shall be dealt with by the appropriate authority.\n Patna High Court CWJC No.8093 of 2019(41) dt.24-12-202118/19Re: CWJC No. 8093 of 2019 & other writ petitions\n\n                           We have interacted with Shri P.K.
