1 lgc IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 3528 OF 2010 Smt. Ashatai Balasaheb Ghule & ors. : Petitioners versus The Special Land Acquisition Officer and ors. : Respondents. Mr. R N Gite for the Petitioners. Mr. V S Gokhale, AGP for Respondent Nos.1 and 2. CORAM : A. M. KHANWILKAR, R. M. SAVANT, JJ. DATED : 3rd May 2010 P.C. : 1 The learned AGP, on instructions, states that the Award has already been passed as back as on 17th February 2009. The challenge to the acquisition at such a belated stage cannot be sustained. The argument of the Petitioners that on account of the financial problems and the Petitioners being poor agriculturists, they could not challenge the acquisition proceedings in earlier point of time does not commend to us. The Petition is dismissed. (R.M.SAVANT, J.) (A. M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
