Tajne, Advocate for Petitioners. Mrs. R.A. Wasnik, AGP for Respondents 1 and 2. Mr. S.A. Mohta, Advocate for Intervenor. .......... CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE & P.D. KODE, JJ. DATED : AUGUST 17, 2009 Heard Mr. Tajne, learned counsel for the petitioner. By this petition, the petitioner seeks release of the payment of Rs.13,69,350/- in terms of the award passed by the Land Acquisition Officer. Affidavit filed by the Special Land Acquisition Officer discloses that one Arvind Bhamkar has claimed interest in the very same property and sought reference under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act. In the affidavit, it has been clearly stated that he is going to refer the matter in terms of Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act to the Reference Court. Mrs. R.A. Wasnik, learned AGP states that the Special Land Acquisition Officer has already referred the 2 dispute under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act. In view of above, the prayer sought for in the petition is not available to the petitioner. Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed. Mr. Tajne, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks direction to the Reference Court for early disposal of the matter. Without verifying as to how many matters are pending before the Reference Court, we are not inclined to give such direction and, therefore, the prayer is rejected. However, the petitioner is at liberty to file appropriate application before Reference Court for early disposal of the reference. If such an application is filed, the Reference Court shall decide the same on its merits. In view of disposal of the writ petition, Civil Application No. 1231 of 2009 stands disposed of.
