Petitioner versus The State of Maharashtra and others ..Respondents Mr. Prakash Kinny for the petitioner. Mr. V.D. Patil, Government Pleader, for the respondents. CORAM: P.B. MAJMUDAR & A.A. SAYED , JJ. DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 2011. P.C. An affidavit in reply on behalf of respondent No.4 has been placed on record. It is pointed out by the learned Government Pleader that out of the survey numbers mentioned by the petitioner in the petition, only two lands have been acquired under the Award viz. Survey Nos. 87 and 101 but the possession is not yet taken and the Government is contemplating to withdraw the acquisition. He further submits that in case the land is withdrawn from acquisition, the petitioner will be entitled to claim appropriate compensation under Section 48 (2) of the Land Acquisition Act. At present, there is no question of asking the Government to pay any compensation in view of the fact that possession of the lands in respect of which award has been passed was never taken. Hence there is no substance in the prayer of the petitioner. Petition is rejected. P. B. MAJMUDAR, J. A.A. SAYED, J.
