Registrars orders. CORAM : PRASANNA B. VARALE, J. DATED : MARCH 25, 2009. Heard Mr. Mandpe, learned AGP for applicant and Mr. Mehadia, learned Counsel for respondents. For the reasons stated in the application, the application is allowed. FIRST APPEAL ST. NO. 1911/07 : Mr. Mehadia, learned Counsel for respondents, submitted before the Court that by order dated 17.2.2009, the appeals arising out of the same notification have been dismissed by this Court on merits upholding the award passed by Reference Court in respect of the similar lands. Time was sought by the learned AGP to seek instructions. Today, the learned AGP placed on record the copy of the judgment and order passed by this Court in First Appeal No. 1043/07 and other connected matters. This Court by considering the merits of the matter observed that the Reference Court has rightly awarded the compensation at the rate of Rs.24,800/- per acre. It is also observed by this Court that it is not in dispute that the State has not filed any appeal against the awards passed in L.A.C. Nos. 55/99, 54/99, 53/99, 58/99. The award passed by the Reference Court in those 2 land acquisition cases which were decided earlier have attained finality and it would not be just and proper to grant lesser compensation to the respondents in this First Appeal. In view of the judgment and order passed by this Court in the above mentioned First Appeals, there is no reason to take any different view. In the result, the First Appeal is dismissed with no order as to costs. J. JUDGE.
