Mr. A.S. Sonare, AGP for the respondents/State. .......... CORAM : A.B. CHAUDHARI, J. DATE : NOVEMBER 30, 2009. First Appeal No.666 of 1994 was called out for final hearing. This first appeal was restored to its original position by order dated 16.11.2009 and Advocate Mr. Karia was instructed to take note and to appear on behalf of Mrs. Savitri Dave, the original counsel for the appellants. It appears that Advocate Mrs. Savitri Dave has not been appearing in this Court for a number of years and as per the say of Advocate Mr. Karia on last occasion in her other case Advocate Mrs. Savitri Dave had asked Advocate Mr. Karia to appear in her matters and to take note. 2 Today, again first appeal is listed for filing paper book but nobody appeared before the court. I find that first appeal relates to the year 1994 and identical cases of village Chincholi in Arunawati Project have been decided by this Court. Therefore, no different view in respect of the same village and the same notification can be taken though none appears on behalf of the appellants. Therefore, I am inclined to dispose of this appeal finally. It is seen that in other identical appeals this court has confirmed the Award at the rate of Rs.32,000/- per hectare for irrigated land and Rs.25,000/- per hectare for dry crop land. In the instant case the Reference Court has awarded the compensation at the rate of Rs.55,000/- per hectare. Since in the first appeals filed by the State, rate has also been decided by this Court which is obviously lower than Rs.55,000/- per hectare, I do not think that demand made by the appellants for enhancement of compensation in this appeal can be said to be justified. Hence, I find no substance in the present first appeal. The same is, therefore, dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE Gulande
