IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY: NAGPUR BENCH: NAGPUR CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 4969/2008 in F.A. ST.10201/2008. [State & another ..vs.. Smt. Kaushaliyabai Goplani] ================================== Mr. J.B. Jaiswal, Advocate for applicant. Mr. ================================== CORAM: D.K. DESHMUKH, J. DATE:8TH DECEMBER, 2008. Heard. This is an application for condonation of delay. Delay is of 1490 days. The reason that has been given is administrative difficulty. What is further to be seen is that the land admeasuring 650 square meters in Gondia Town has been acquired for expansion of road. Land Acquisition Officer awarded compensation @ Rs.135/- per square meter. Reference court enhanced it by 25%. Therefore, now instead of Rs.135/- per square meter, the land owner gets compensation @ Rs.169/- per square meter. Therefore, the enhancement is @ Rs.34/- per square meter. As observed above total land acquired is 650 square meter. In my opinion therefore, considering the enormous delay involved, the nature of reasons which is given and the amount of compensation involved, it will not be in the interest of justice to condone the delay. Civil application is therefore disposed of. JUDGE smp.
