1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH AT NAGPUR FIRST APPEAL NO. 275 OF 2010 State of Maharashtra thr Collector Wardha Vs. Vithal Mahadeorao Asatkar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or Court's or Judge's Orders directions and Registrar's orders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ms. Wasnik AGP for appellant. Ms. V. Wasu Adv for respondent. CORAM: C. L. PANGARKAR J. DATED: 25 th MARCH, 2010. Heard learned AGP for the appellant and the learned counsel for the respondent. 2. This appeal is preferred against the award passed by the Land Acquisition Officer in respect of house and plot acquired by the State for the purpose of some project. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded the compensation at the rate of Rs. 10/- per sq.mt. A reference was sought by the present respondent to the Civil Court. Civil Court upon 2 consideration of evidence and sale instances available found that instead Rs. 10/- per sq. mt. The respondent was entitled to compensation at the rate of Rs. 12/- per sq. mt. The learned counsel for the respondent brings to my notice that this Court had dealt with Appeal No. 7343 of 2007 which arises out of the same acquisition proceedings in which the compensation was enhanced from Rs.10/- per sq. mt. to Rs. 12/- per sq.mt.. This Court had found that there was no reason to admit the appeal since the compensation as awarded in that case by the reference Court was correct. In view of the fact that this Appeal No. 7343 of 2007 has been dismissed by this Court holding that compensation at the rate of Rs. 12/- per sq. mt. was adequate and proper, I do not see any reason to interfere in this appeal also since in this appeal too the compensation has been increased from Rs. 10/- to 12/- per sq. mt. alone. There is therefore no substance in the appeal. The same is dismissed. svk JUDGE 3
