Respondents Mr.A.M.Phule, A.G.P. for appellant {4} ca1611810.odt CORAM : M.S.SONAK, J. DATE : 07th February, 2018. ORAL JUDGMENT : 1. In all these Civil Applications, delay sought to be condoned is 1032 days. Notices are yet to be served upon the respondents. 2. There is no good explanation in respect of condonation of delay. However, even if some indulgence is to be shown to the appellants and delay is to be condoned, it is relevant to record that in this case, enhancement by Reference Court is Rs.325/- per Are as against the rate of Rs.250/- per Are, awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. Therefore, it is quite clear that enhancement in the present case is within the limits prescribed in Government Resolution dated 3rd November, 2011 as amended from time to time in which, a policy decision has been taken not to pursue appeal where enhanced amount is less than four times the Ready Reckoner rate as prevalent on the date of issuance of section 4 notification. 3. Further, even on merit, it is seen that the reference court has appreciated the entire material on record including in particular, the evidence led on behalf of respondents-claimants. Therefore, even on merit, there is really no case made out to interfere with the marginal increase in the rate ordered by the reference Court. {5} ca1611810.odt 4. Upon cumulative consideration of the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, the civil applications are disposed of. As a result, appeals and other civil applications pending therein, if any, are also dismissed. M.S.SONAK JUDGE dyb
