Trimbak Bapurao Bhadke) =-=-=---=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Office Notes, Office Memorandum of Coram appearances, Court's orders of directions & Registrar's orders. Court's or Judges Order =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mr. A.S.Sonare, AG.P. for the appellants. C ORAM : C.L.PANGARKAR, J. DATED : 29th MARCH, 2010. This appeal has been preferred by the State of Maharashtra against the award passed by the reference court in Land Acquisition Case No. 34 of 1997. The Land Acquisition Officer had awarded compensation @ Rs.19,000/- per hectare. The same has been increased to Rs.35,000/- per hectare by the reference court. Therefore, feeling aggrieved by the impugned award, the State of Maharashtra has filed this appeal. Learned AGP submits that the compensation awarded by the reference court is too high and therefore, the appeal should be admitted. It appears that the learned Judge of the trial court has relied upon the award passed in Land Acquisition Case No. 31 of 1997. In an appeal preferred in this Court against Award in L.A.C. NO. 31/1997, there was a delay in preferring the said appeal. The application for condonation of delay filed in said appeal has been 2 rejected by this Court on 06/5/2006. In view of this, it is clear that the award as passed in L.A.C. No. 31/1997 has assumed finality. Since, that award has assumed finality and this award under challenge has been passed on the basis of the award which has attained finality, I do not find any reason to admit this appeal. The same is dismissed in limine. No order as to costs. JUDGE. Diwale
