SSK/911 1 WP/4065.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 4065 OF 2011 Shubhangi K Kene & Ors. ....Petitioners Versus The State of Maharastra & Ors. ...Respondents Mr. K. K. Jadhav, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. V. S. Gokhale, AGP for the State. CORAM : SMT. RANJANA DESAI & RANJIT MORE, JJ. DATED : 28TH JULY, 2011. P.C.: We have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned AGP. 2. The petitioners’ basic prayer is that the petitioners have been denied interest on the amount of compensation awarded to them vide Award dated 24th March, 2009 and 22nd June, 2009. In paragraph 18 of the petition, it is stated that the petitioners have preferred proceedings under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1896 before the District Court, Alibag, Raigad. In our opinion, it is not necessary to entertain the instant petition because the petitioners can always claim interest under those proceedings. Needless to say that if such a claim is made by the petitioners, it shall be considered independently and in accordance with law. We make it clear that we have expressed no opinion on the merits of the case. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. (RANJIT MORE, J.) (SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.)
