1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH AT NAGPUR FIRST APPEAL NO. 1181 OF 2009 State of Maharashtra & Ors. Vs. Pralhad Bapurao Bhadke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. CORAM: C. L. PANGARKAR J. DATED: 25 th MARCH, 2010. Heard. This is an appeal against the award passed by the Additional District Judge in Land Acquisition Case. Land was acquired by the Government for the purpose of irrigation project. The Land Acquisition Officer had awarded compensation which came to be enhanced by the Reference Court. Reference Court while awarding the enhanced compensation has relied upon the award Passed in Land Acquisition Case No. 31 of 1997. 2 Learned counsel for the State submits that the appeal preferred against the said award was not entertained by the High Court since delay condonation application itself has been rejected. In view of this, award passed in Land Acquisition Case No. 31 of 1997 has become final. This award having been based on that award therefore cannot be faulted with now. In the circumstances I see no merit in the appeal. The same is dismissed in limine. JUDGE svk
