Khekale, Assistant Government Pleader, for the applicant. ........................ CORAM : K.U. CHANDIWAL, J. DATE : 24TH MARCH 2010 COURT'S ORDER : 1. Heard learned Assistant Government Pleader in the group of matters where the delay is 592 days, seeking to challenge orders in different Land Acquisition Reference, recorded by common judgment of the learned Reference Court dated 6th February 2001. The delay is sought to be explained (2) by indicating that the proposal dated 5th February 2000 was issued by the Law & Judiciary Department, Aurangabad, to file an appeal against the judgment and award. It was received by the Government Pleader at this Bench, on 6th September 2000. The learned Assistant Government Pleader on 14-9-2000 informed the Special Land Acquisition Officer for sending the documents. However, the documents did not reach the office. The delay of 592 days, though is not required to be explained on day-to-day count, however, it should be rationally explained which unfortunately is not the picture. Consequently, the applications seeking condonation lack merit, warrant dismissal. 2. Incidentally, with the assistance of the learned Assistant Government Pleader, I have gone through the order under challenge in different Land Acquisition References and I find, the learned Reference Court in Land Acquisition Reference No. 342/1994, granted enhanced compensation of Rs. 9,282/-, in Land Acquisition Reference No. 340/1994, granted enhanced compensation of Rs. 20,384/-, in Land Acquisition Reference No. 341/1994, granted enhanced compensation of Rs. 9,009/-, in Land Acquisition Reference No. 343/1994, granted enhanced compensation of Rs. 9,009/-, in Land Acquisition Reference No. 344/1994, granted enhanced compensation of Rs. 17,472/-, and in Land Acquisition Reference No. 345/1994, granted enhanced compensation of Rs. 7,644/-. These enhancements were (3) definitely by virtue of the sale deed Exhibit 13, which was one year nine months prior to the publication of notification. The findings of the Reference Court, even otherwise, does not warrant interference. 3. In the result, the Civil Applications for condonation of delay are dismissed. So also, the Civil Applications for stay are dismissed. Consequently, registration of the First Appeals is refused. Necessary court fee be refunded. ( K.U.
