State of Maharashtra and others) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Shri P.S. Tidke, Advocate for the petitioner. Smt. Bharti Dangre, Additional GP for the respondent No.1. CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. 26TH JULY, 2011. Heard. By this petition, the petitioner seeks a writ, order or direction to set aside the communication/order passed by the respondent No.1 on 14.06.2010. A further direction is also sought to the respondent No.1 to issue the cheque of compensation amount in the name of the petitioner-Bank or in the alternative to make a reference of the dispute to the District Court, Wardha under Sections 18 and 30 of the Land Acquisition Act. The petitioner is a cooperative society and is engaged in the business of banking. The petitioner-Society has disbursed a loan to the respondent Nos.2 and 3 and since the loan was not repaid, the petitioner-Society took possession of the agricultural property of the respondent Nos.2 and 3. The respondent No.1- State of Maharashtra decided to acquire the land of the respondent Nos.2 and 3 and after following the other steps, the award was passed by the Land Acquisition Officer under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act. After the award was passed, an application was made by the petitioner-bank for grant of compensation which was payable towards the acquisition of the land which was owned by the respondent Nos.2 and 3. Since the respondent No.1 failed to grant the compensation to the petitioner-society, the present petition is instituted. It appears that the writ petition has been filed on 17.08.2010 and the amount of compensation towards the 2 acquisition of land has been paid by the respondent No.1 to the respondent Nos.2 and 3 on 17.08.2010. As there was no stay to the land acquisition proceedings or to the issuance of the cheque to the respondent Nos.2 and 3, who were shown to be the owners of the land in the revenue records, the respondent No.1 has paid the compensation to the respondent Nos.2 and 3 on 17.08.2010. In the aforesaid set of facts, the reliefs claimed by the petitioner by this petition, cannot be granted. In case the petitioner-society is aggrieved by the grant of compensation by the respondent No.1 to the respondent Nos.2 and 3 and is also aggrieved by the inadequacy of compensation granted by the respondent No.1, the petitioner is free to file the necessary proceedings before the appropriate forum in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of with no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE *rrg.
