Mr. S.S. Halkude, advocate for the petitioners. Mr. D.R. Kale, A.G.P. for the Respondent-State. ..... CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE AND M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 4th MAY, 2011 PER COURT : 1. The petition has been filed since the respondents had neglected to re-determine the compensation paid to the petitioners under section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, "the Act"). The petitioners had filed an application on 5th July, 2002 under section 28A of the Act. However, the respondents have slept over his application and not decided it for more than nine years. It is a shame that the respondents have not bothered to re-determine the compensation immediately after the application has been filed and have driven (2) WP6045-08 the petitioners to prefer the present petition. 2. We deem it proper to direct the respondents to re-determine the compensation under section 28A of the Act in respect of the land bearing Survey No. 50, 52 and 55 of village Chikalthana, Taluka Latur. 3. The petition is allowed in terms of prayer "B". The application shall be decided within eight weeks from today. [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.] NPJ/wp6045-08
