1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.7036 OF 2008 Pralhad R. Pawar and others ...Petitioners v/s Divisional Commissioner, Pune Division, Pune and others ...Respondents Mr A.M. Kulkarni for Petitioners. Mr P.S. Gole for Respondent No.6. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND K.K. TATED JJ. DATE : 5TH NOVEMBER 2009. 2 P.C. :- 1] The lands of the petitioners were acquired in 1982 for rehabilitation of Kanher Project affected persons. The petitioners accepted acquisition. They only requested that instead of lands taken from gat No.938, the lands from gat Nos. 981 and 839 should be taken. That request was accepted by order dated 28th December 1982. It appears that thereafter the Collector, Satara made an order in the year 1990 deciding to recile from his order accepting the alternate lands. That order was challenged in this Court in writ petition No. 4466 of 1990. That writ petition was allowed by order dated 16th September 1997 and the order dated 30th August 1990 was set aside with the result, the order accepting alternate lands from the petitioners remained in the field. Now, the petitioners have come to challenge the original Notification acquiring their lands. In our opinion, firstly latches and secondly conduct of the petitioners of accepting the acquisition and opting to give 3 alternate lands disentitle the petitioners to challenge the acquisition which took place in the year 1982. Petition is therefore rejected. Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of this Court. Certified copy expedited. ( JUSTICE D.K. DESHMUKH ) ( JUSTICE K.K. TATED )
