SSK/939 1 WP/6965.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 6965 OF 2011 Shri Ganpat Sitaram More & Anr. ....Petitioners Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ...Respondents Mr. Karan D. Bhosale i/b. Smt. Devika Nigade, Advocate for the petitioners. Ms. P. S. Cardozo, Advocate for respondent nos. 1 to 7. Mr. S. P. Kadam, Advocate for respondent no.8, 10, 12 to 16. CORAM : RANJIT MORE, J. DATED : 17th OCTOBER, 2011. P.C.: Heard Mr. Bhosale, learned counsel for the petitioners, Ms. P. S. Cardozo, learned AGP for respondent nos. 1 to 7 and Mr. Kadam, learned counsel for respondent nos. 8, 10, 12 to 16. 2. By this petition, the petitioners challenged the Communication dated 29th December, 2010 passed by the Deputy Collector, Resettlement, Satara. By the said communication, the petitioners’ request made to the Divisional Commissioner for deletion of their land for acquisition was rejected. It appears that the said request was made under Section 48 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The land in question originally belonging to the petitioners was acquired long back and award under Section 12 was passed in the year 1994. Possession was already taken from the petitioners by the resettlement Officer and same was allotted to respondent nos. 8 to 16. SSK/939 2 WP/6965.11 3. In view of the above circumstances, the petitioners’ request was rightly rejected. I do not find any merit in the above petition, so as to enable me to interfere with the impugned order in writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The Petition is, therefore, dismissed. (RANJIT MORE, J.)
