1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR FIRST APPEAL NO. 396 OF 1992 (State of Maharashtra & Anr. vs. Shamrao Ramaji Gawande & Anr.) WITH FIRST APPEAL NO. 397 OF 1992 (State of Maharashtra & Anr. vs. Prabhakar Bakaramji Dhurve & Ors.) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. MARCH 18, 2009. Both these appeals by State of Maharashtra and its officer challenge common judgment dated 14.1.1992 delivered by the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Pusad, in Land Acquisition Case No. 91 of 1987 and 90 of 1987 (old) corresponding new numbers are Land Acquisition Case Nos. 265 of 1990 and 264 of 1990. The parties state that the controversy is covered by the earlier judgment delivered by me on 11.2.2009 in First Appeal No. 283 of 1995. I have heard Shri Kankale and Shri Yengal, learned AGPs for the appellants – State Government and Shri Patil, learned counsel for the respondents – land owners. It is not in dispute that the lands acquired are from village Ukhali and Notification under 2 Section 4 of Land Acquisition Act, was published on 4.7.1981 and award came to be passed on 23.9.1986. The Land Acquisition Officer allowed rate of Rs.8,500/- per Hectare and Reference Court has granted Rs.40,000/- per Hectare. The said rate in relation to village – Ukhali, has been maintained by this Court on 11.2.2009 in First Appeal No. 283 of 1995. It is, therefore, obvious that the controversy is covered by the said judgment delivered by me. Hence, both these first appeals are dismissed in view of said judgment for the reasons recorded therein. However, in the circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as to costs. JUDGE *GS.
