1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO.__________ IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGBAD. CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 2984 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL ST. NO. 3705 OF 2009 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of | Coram, appearances, Court’s orders | Court’s or Judge’s orders or directions and Registrar/s orders | and Registrar’s orders | Mrs. A.V. Gondhalekar, AGP for the State. CORAM : K. U. CHANDIWAL, J. DATE : 30 th November, 2009 1 Heard learned AGP. Delay of 572 days in causing to file first appeal challenging the order of learned Adhoc Additional District Judge at Udgir dt. 27-4-2007 in LAR o. 696/2002 is subject of challenge. Delay, according to learned AGP is occasioned for want of proper court fees available to the office of the Government Pleader. Delay is not properly explained. The ground of non-availbility of court fees in itself will not be a reasonable ground. 2 2 Incidentally, I have gone through the order under challenge wherein the learned Judge enhanced the compensation by taking into consideration the market price of the acquired land at the rate of Rs. 50,000/- per acre for the acquired area of 4 H and 28 R and thereon granted solatium and other benefits. The order also does not smack of any error. Since delay is not condoned, application is rejected. First appeal is rejected. Application for stay is also rejected. Necessary court fees be refunded.
