DATED : 19th Sept., 2011. Mr. S.N. Kendre, A.G.P. for the applicants. 1. Heard. 2. Delay applications are preferred for condonation of delay of 812 days. The learned A.G.P. for State submits that delay is caused due to procedural and administrative steps which the department is required to take. He submits that the Special Land Acquisition Officer has fixed the compensation in the range @ Rs. 200 to 300/- per Hector. He points out that the reference Court has enhanced the compensation @ Rs.950/- per R. He submits that the delay be condoned as the State has case on merit. 3. Period of delay of 812 days is not a short which can be condoned without giving any sufficient cause 2 and can not be condoned on the routine reason of procedural delay. No specific reason is given and therefore, the application deserves to be dismissed for want of sufficient and satisfactory ground to condone the delay. 4. Moreover, the reference Court has considered the sale instance dated 14/04/1989 of Rs.44,107/- per hector. The award of the lands in present appeals was passed on 31/03/1993 i.e. three years thereafter. It is fully irrigated land. So, on merit also, there is no case for the State. The applications for condonation of delay are dismissed. The appeals Stamps and stay applications are also dismissed. [SMT. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.] ts k/2011/Sept.19/
