-1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 5041 OF 2010 Ravindra S. Wagh ....Petitioner vs. The State of Maharashtra and others .... Respondents Mrs. I.M. Koparkar for the petitioner. Mr. S.R. Nargolkar, Govt. Pleader, for the respondents. CORAM: P.B. MAJMUDAR & MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR , JJ. DATE: NOVEMBER 18, 2010. P.C. Prayer of the petitioner is that the Government should consider the case of the petitioner for exemption from paying “nazarana” at the time of converting the land from Agriculture to Non-Agriculture. The Government had already asked the petitioner to pay premium at a particular date in its order dated 13-8-2009. The petitioner’s grievance is that since the matter was kept pending by the Government, nazarana rate should be charged at a particular rate which was prevailing in 1996. In our view, as long as no final order is passed converting the land from Agriculture to Non-Agriculture, the grievance of the petitioner in this behalf is not justified. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that now the land is acquired under the Act and, therefore there is no question of converting the same or paying any premium. Since the land is already acquired by the Government, it will be open to the petitioner to ask for -2- an appropriate compensation as per the provisions of the Act and in accordance with law. 2. Subject to what is stated above, the writ petition is disposed of. P. B. MAJMUDAR, J. MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.
