1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH AT NAGPUR Writ Petition No. 3773/2007 Keshavrao Shamrao Hiwse and others ..vs.. The State of Maharashtra and Ors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or Court's or Judge's Orders directions and Registrar's orders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM: D. K. DESHMUKH AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. DATED : 17 th NOVEMBER, 2008 1. It is common ground that possession of the land acquired from the petitioner was taken by the NIT in the year 1973. The contention of the petitioner is that the he is still entitled to allotment of plot in lieu of acquisition of his land under the scheme enunciated by the Government Resolution dated 06.03.1990. 2. It is clear from the Resolution that one of the purpose of the resolution is to encourage the land holders, whose lands have been compulsorily acquired, to part with possession of the land. If possession of the land acquired was already taken long back before the Government Resolution 2 was issued, obviously, the scheme in the Government Resolution will not apply to such lands. There is no substance in the writ petition. The petition is, therefore, rejected. JUDGE JUDGE kahale
