1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL REVISION APPLICATION (ST.)NO.1534 OF 2008 Shivaji Mahadeo More …Applicant Versus State of Maharashtra & Anr. ….Respondents Mr.Surel S. Shah for the Applicant. Mr.S.V.More, AGP for Respondent No.1 & 2. CORAM : R. V. MORE, J. DATE : 16TH APRIL, 2009. P.C.: Heard, Mr. Shah, learned Counsel for the Applicant and Mr.S.V.More, AGP for the Respondents. 2. The Applicant takes exception to the Order passed by Respondent No.2 i.e. Special Land Acquisition Officer, whereby the Applicant’s reference under section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was rejected on the ground that the same is beyond limitation period. It is not disputed that the Award was passed on 25th September, 2001 and thereafter the Applicant accepted the amount of compensation on 12th August, 2004 without protest. The reference under section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act was filed on 14th February, 2005. The aforesaid date unequivocally shows that Reference under Section 18 of the Land 2 Acquisition is filed beyond the limitation period. It is now settled law that the delay occurred in filing the reference cannot be condoned. In the above facts and circumstances, I do not find any error in the impugned order. The Civil Revision Application is without any merit and the same is dismissed, as such. (R. V. MORE, J.)
