{1} ca595409.odt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO.5954 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL ST.NO.9618 OF 2009 The State of Maharashtra and another Applicants Versus Vithal s/o Maroti Kadam Respondent WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO.5955 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL ST.NO.9616 OF 2009 The State of Maharashtra and another Applicants Versus Rajendra s/o Rambhau Jadhav Respondent WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO.5956 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL ST.NO.9620 OF 2009 The State of Maharashtra and another Applicants Versus Suryabhan s/o Ramrao Jadhav Respondent WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO.5957 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL ST.NO.9607 OF 2009 The State of Maharashtra {2} ca595409.odt and another Applicants Versus Shriram Sahebrao Jadhav and others Respondents Mr.K.S.Patil, A.G.P. for applicant/appellant. CORAM : R.M.BORDE, J. DATE : 15 th June, 2011 PER COURT: 1 These are applications seeking condonation of 1290 days in presenting respective appeals. 2 I have perused the applications. The reasons recorded in the applications for presenting appeals are not at all convincing. It is also pointed out that the Reference Court, while passing the award and directing enhancement in the amount of compensation payable to the claimants, has placed reliance on the judgment delivered by the Reference Court earlier in L.A.R. No.369 of 1998 decided on 21.02.2005. An appeal was presented against the decision in the said Reference, along with an application for condonation of delay, being C.A. No. 10028/2006 in F.A. St.No.17209 of 2006. This Court, however, refused to condone delay and as such the appeal was not registered. 3 In the instant matter, the Reference Court has awarded compensation relying upon the judgment delivered in L.A.R. No. 369/1998 and enhancement directed is also on par with the {3} ca595409.odt enhancement directed in the aforesaid Land Acquisition Reference. 4 For the reasons recorded in the order dated 25.01.2008, passed by this Court, in Civil Application No.10028 of 2006 in First Appeal St. No.17209 of 2006, whereby this Court refused to condone delay in presenting appeal arising out of the judgment delivered by the Reference Court in L.A.R. No.369/1998, instant Civil Applications also do not deserve any consideration. 5 Civil Applications are, therefore, rejected. In view of the rejection of applications, appeals presented by the State cannot be registered. As such, applicant-State is entitled to claim refund of court fee, in accordance with rules.
