1 Anando IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1956 OF 2010 Ganpat Khandu Patil ..Petitioner (since deceased) through L.R. V/s. The State of Maharashtra & ors ..Respondents Mr.S.G.Surana, Advocate, for the Petitioner Mr.S.R.Nargolkar, Government Pleader, for the Respondent Nos.1 to 4 CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR & R.M.SAVANT, JJ. DATE : 17TH MARCH, 2010 P.C. . The limited grievance in this Petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is that although Award has been passed under Section 28-A(2) of the Land Acquisition Act, the amount determined thereunder has not been made over to the Petitioner so far. For Award has been passed as back as on 19th January, 2009. Ordinarily, the amount ought to have been paid immediately after the Award was 2 passed unless the same was to be assailed. Having accepted the said Award, the question of delaying payment cannot be countenanced. 2. In the circumstances, we have no hesitation in directing the Respondents to take steps to release the payment determined as per the Award along with interest thereon, if any, to the Petitioner as expeditiously as possible and in any case, not later than six weeks from today. 3. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. (R.M.SAVANT, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
