IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 255 OF 2008 IN FIRST APPEAL NO. 245 OF 2008 MR. SITARAM DAMODAR SINAI DESSAI ... Applicant Versus MR. PURUSHOTTAM SITARAM SINAI DESSAI (DECEASED) THROUGH LR'S AND 3 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. S. K. Kakodkar, Senior Advocate with Mr. Amey Kakodkar, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. J. P. Mulgaonkar, Advocate for respondents No.1a,1b & 2. Mr. M. S. Sonak, Advocate for respondents No.3 and 4. Coram:- A. P. DESHPANDE & N. A. BRITTO, JJ. Date:- 10th December, 2008 P.C. By the present application, an unsuccessful plaintiff/applicant seeks direction against the respondents/defendants to deposit a sum of Rs.82,28,541/- which they had received by way of compensation on account of acquisition of land. The suit filed by the applicant/plaintiff was pending for a period of about 11 years and during the pendency of the suit, no such relief was sought. Hence, the question of granting the same did not arise for consideration of the Trial Court. 2. The direction sought for in this application is after a period of more than 12 years from the date of receipt of the amount. The applicant/plaintiff cannot be placed in a better position than what he was during the pendency of the suit, more so, after dismissal of the suit itself. 3. We do not find any merit in the application. The same is dismissed. However, hearing of the appeal is expedited. A. P. DESHPANDE, J. N. A. BRITTO, J. ssm.
