COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS WP/8121/2010 BABAN AMBADAS SHINDE AND ORS VERSUS THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS ... Advocate for Petitioners : Shri Sonwane Mahesh R. AGP for Respondents 1 to 6 : Shri Suryawanshi K.M. Advocate for Respondent 7 : Shri Markad D.R. Advocate for Respondent 8 : Shri Langhe P.V. ... CORAM : D B BHOSALE & S B DESHMUKH, JJ. Dated: June 29, 2011 ... 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. By this Writ Petition, the petitioners are challenging the acquisition of their land admeasuring 2 Hectares and 2 Ares situated at Bhavi - Nimgaon, Tq. Shevgaon, District Ahmednagar. The acquisition proceedings were initiated in 1975 and in 1980 award was passed. It further appears that the petitioners lost possession sometime in 1980-81. This acquisition was for re-settlement of the project affected persons. Thereafter, the possession of the acquired land was also given to the project affected persons. It is in this backdrop, the petition, in our opinion, deserves to be dismissed on the ground of delay and laches. 3. Ordered accordingly. (S.B.DESHMUKH, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE,J.) akl
