1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION FIRST APPEAL NO.1768 OF 2009 The State of Maharashtra .. Appellant. V/s. Dattatraya Ganpat Pasalkar .. Respondent Mrs.G.P.Mulekar, AGP for the Appellant. CORAM : R.G.KETKAR, J. DATE : 15TH FEBRUARY, 2010 P.C. : 1. This appeal is directed against the judgment and order dated January 18, 2000 passed by learned Extra Joint District Judge, Pune, in L.A.R.No.154 of 1991. The land bearing Gat No.24/1 admeasuring 94R was acquired by the appellant/State under the notifications dated July 13, 1971 and October 3, 1974. The lands were acquired for the purpose of Veer Pasalkar Dam. The Special Land Acquisition Officer made an award on September 23, 1986 and awarded compensation @ Rs.3400/- per hector. 2. Being aggrieved by that, the Respondents claimants made Reference u/s.18 of the Land Acquisition Act. The learned Trial Judge enhanced the compensation from Rs.3400/- per hector to Rs.12,000/- per hector. In paragraph No.8 of the judgment, the learned Judge has considered the order passed on August 25, 1998 in Land Reference No.126 of 1991, and both the parties had agreed before the learned Judge that the evidence led in Land Reference No.126 of 1991 may be read and referred in the present land acquisition reference. On considering this aspect, the 2 learned trial Judge enhanced the compensation to Rs.12,000/- per hector. This aspect is considered in paragraph No.10 of the impugned judgment and order. 3. Considering the extent of the land in the present proceedings i.e.94R which is even less than 1H, and considering the merits in the appeal, in my opinion, this is not a fit case for admission. This is more so considering the quantum involved in the present appeal. Hence, without calling for the R & P of the case, I am satisfied that the learned Trial Judge has not awarded exorbitant compensation. In view of this appeal stands dismissed summarily. 4. In view of dismissal of the appeal, no order in the Civil Application No. 4524/2009 and the same stands disposed of. (R.G.KETKAR, J.)
