Jadhav, AGP for respondent - State CORAM : P. V. HARDAS AND R. K. DESHPANDE, JJ. DATE : 10th July, 2009 PER COURT : None appears on behalf of the petitioners when this petition is called out for hearing though this petition has been circulated before us. The relief which is sought for by the petitioner in this petition is in respect of payment of compensation for the land of the petitioners which came to be acquired in the year 1972-73. From the date of acquisition of the land no demand appears to have been made by the petitioners for payment of compensation, at least none has been tendered before us in this writ petition. This petition has been filed after nearly 36 years of the date of acquisition. The petition suffers 2 from laches, which have not been explained. In the light of that, therefore, this petition is summarily dismissed with no order as to costs. [ R. K. DESHPANDE, J.] [ P. V. HARDAS, J.] amj/wp640.09
