We have heard the learned counsel for the applicant i.e. Maharashtra State Electricity Board and we have noted from the record that this application was filed on or about 24/6/1998 and remained pending for some or the other reasons and came to be registered for the first time in this year. Admittedly the applicant Board as of now has been bifurcated in different Corporations. The learned counsel for the applicant states that the application is maintainable even as of now. . The applicant prays for being impleaded as a party respondent in First Appeal No.1010 of 1998 and on the ground that the subject land was acquired for 2 its purpose. We have verified from the award impugned in the First Appeal and it states that the land was acquired for the applicant. . Hence the application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a) subject to the locus standi of the applicant Corporation for being impleaded as an added respondent. . Little & Co. waives service for the added respondent. . Appeal to proceed for final hearing in due course. (D.G.KARNIK,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
