1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO.4173 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL ST. NO.17310 OF 2003 The State of Maharashtra ...APPLICANT. VERSUS Uttam s/o Baddu Pawar. ...RESPONDENT. ... Mr.V.H. Dighe, A.G.P. for Applicants. ... CORAM: K.U. CHANDWAL, J. DATE : 19TH DECEMBER, 2009. PER COURT : 1. Heard learned A.G.P. The award in L.A.R. No.174 of 1993 dated 16th April, 1994 and thereafter modification caused on 17th February, 1995 is subject of the challenge by the State. After the award, application for certified copies was made. The proposal was sent for approval. Again for a fresh certified copies, application was moved. It was received on 10th July, 2003 in L.A.R. NO.184 of 1993. 2 There was an apparent delay even in applying for the certified copies. Though the matter appears to have been lodged, objections were not removed and from the calculation, the delay is of 8 years and 360 days, virtually 9 years. 2. The learned A.G.P. has read the relevant paragraphs of the Judgment and award under challenge. I find assessment carried by the learned Reference Court was in tune to the settled position of law. The sale instances were considered in its proper perspective including the annual yield received by the different agriculturists. 3. The application seeking condonation of delay does not display sufficient reasons. Even otherwise the Judgment and award does not suffer from any illegality. The Application and the First Appeal dismissed. Necessary Court Fee be refunded. [K.U. CHANDIWAL, J.] asb/DEC09/ca4173.09
