(CORAM : P.V.HARDAS, AND A.V.POTDAR, J.J.) DATE : 18/08/2009 PER COURT : 1. This is a writ petition at the instance of the petitioners who 2 pray for issuance of a writ of mandamus directing respondents no.1 to 3 to release the amount of rental compensation to the petitioners for the period 26/02/1996 to 20/09/1999. Undisputedly, the land of the petitioners came to be acquired and after following the procedure established by Law, an award u/s. 11 of The Land Acquisition Act came to be passed on 23/09/1998. Thereafter, the compensation came to be awarded to the petitioners and the petitioners being dis- satisfied with the quantum of compensation submitted a reference application u/s. 18 of The Land Acquisition Act. The Reference Court by its award dated 18/10/2006, enhanced the compensation to the petitioners. The respondents being aggrieved by the award of the Reference Court have filed First Appeals which are pending in this Court. In the light of pendancy of the first appeals, the quantum of rental compensation is dependent upon the actual compensation which is held entitled to be received by the claimant. In the light of the pendancy of the first appeals, we are not incline to interfere in the present petition and accordingly dismiss the petition as such with liberty to the petitioners to agitate the judgment of payment of rental compensation after the first appeals are decided. Petition is accordingly dismissed with the aforesaid liberty. (A.V.POTDAR, J.) (P.V.HARDAS, J.) khs/AUGUST 2009/wp5384-09
