sk 1 wp7706.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.7706 OF 2011 Balasaheb Amruta Umap : Petitioner V/s. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. : Respondents .... Mr.M.S.Karnik for the petitioner. Mr.V.D.Patil, Govt. Pleader for respondent nos.1 to 3. ... CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,JJ. DATE : OCTOBER 12, 2011. P.C.: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. This Writ Petition is directed against the order dated 31.7.2011 whereby the application of the petitioner came to be rejected. The following facts are not in dispute: The petitioner was the owner of land admeasuring 3 hectares 20 ares out of gat no.405/2, situate at Jategaon, taluka Shirur, Dist. Pune. The land was acquired sometime in the year 2000 for the purpose of sk 2 wp7706.11 allotting the same to project affected persons. The possession of the land was also taken from the petitioner and compensation in respect thereof was also paid to the petitioner. The petitioner, for the first time, approached this Court by filing a Writ Petition in the year 2011 and contended that the project affected persons to whom the land in question was allotted are ready and willing to return the land to the petitioner and the petitioner is also ready and willing to give another land of the petitioner which is adjoining the land of gat no.405/2. The counsel for the petitioner, therefore, contended that the request of the petitioner ought to have been considered by the authorities concerned. 3. Considered the contentions canvassed by the learned counsel for the parties. In view of the above referred undisputed facts, it is clear that land acquisition proceedings were completed almost ten years ago, the possession of the land was also taken by the authorities concerned, compensation for the land was also paid to the petitioner and possession thereof was also given to the project affected persons. In these circumstances, at such a belated stage, it is not possible for us to entertain the request of the petitioner and, therefore, considering the impugned order in the context of these facts, we are of the view that the same is just and proper and needs no interference. sk 3 wp7706.11 4. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. (D. D. SINHA, J.) (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
