Patil, J.] : Heard. 2 The learned counsel appearing for petitioners submits that the petitioners are discriminated in granting compensation to them for acquisition of their lands for the purpose of percolation tank at Anandwadi. According to petitioners, their lands were acquired under the land acquisition Award passed in the year 1999. However, prior to that possession of their lands WP4344.06 - 2 - was taken in the year 1996 by private negotiations. According to petitioners, they ought to have been paid compensation for the damages suffered by them. Petitioners issued notice to the authority in the year 2004 claiming appropriate compensation, but their grievance was not considered. 3 Though affidavit in reply is not filed, the counsel for respondent No.4 acquiring body has placed on record relevant documents. They are taken on record and marked as Exhibit “X” for identification. According to counsel for respondent, whatever due to the petitioners was paid to them at the relevant time and nothing remained to be paid. 4 We have perused the documents placed on record and considered the submissions advanced. We find that the petition is filed in the year 2006 seeking redressal of the grievance of the year 1996. Considering the disputed questions of fact raised by contesting parties and the fact that the petition has been preferred belatedly in the year 2006, we do not find any case to exercise our extra ordinary writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Petition deserves to be dismissed. WP4344.06 - 3 - 5 Petition stands dismissed. [ N.D.Deshpande,J.] [ Naresh H. Patil,J.] pcr/o/wp4344.06
