1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No.1118 of 2008 (Shri Chunnilal s/o. Keshavrao Maraskolhe and Ors. vs. State and Ors.) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions : Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Mr.V.N.Kakird, Adv. for Petitioners. Mrs.Dangre, AGP for Respondent Nos. 1 and 2. CORAM : D.D.Sinha and A.P.Bhangale, JJ. DATE : 10.7.2008. Heard the learned counsel for respective parties. In the instant case, petitioners are challenging the Award which was passed by the Special Land Acquisition Officer dt.6.1.2006 and the petition is filed challenging validity thereof in the year 2008. Apart from the other reasons, the petition suffers from delay and laches and therefore, we are not inclined to show any indulgence on this count. Even otherwise, once Award is passed, it is difficult to entertain challenge to the proceedings undertaken by the Special Land Acquisition Officer in Land Acquisition case before passing of the Award. Consequently, no case is made out for showing indulgence. Hence, the petition is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE ssj
