Dadamiya ...RESPONDENT. ... Mr.V.H. Dighe, A.G.P. for Applicants. ... WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO.4200 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL ST. NO.6266 OF 2009 WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO.4199 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL ST. NO.6332 OF 2009 CORAM: K.U. CHANDWAL, J. DATE : 19TH DECEMBER, 2009. PER COURT : 1. Heard learned A.G.P. There is delay of 804 days in causing to file respective Appeals arising out of the common Judgment and award passed in L.A.R. Nos.9 2 of 2003, 12 of 2003 and 13 of 2003 by learned Second Adhoc Additional District Judge, Beed dated 14/7/2006 which is under challenge. The application for certified copy was made on 15/7/2006. The copy was collected on 6/11/2006 however the Appeal could not be filed within the stipulated period. The learned A.G.P. informs that it was the procedural hassels which has taken the delay. However, in the matter of such nature the delay of 804 days needs to be explained coherently, which unfortunately is not surfacing. 2. Incidently, the award under challenge by the Reference Court is perused. The sale instances prior to the notification dated 19/12/1996 were considered by the learned Judge. The table referred in Para 22 also indicates that the enhanced compensation is respectively Rs.23,400/-, Rs.54,275/- and Rs.15,925/-. The award does not smack of any illegality. The application lacks merit and therefore dismissed with the respective Appeals. Necessary court fee be refunded. [K.U. CHANDIWAL, J.] asb/DEC09/ca4198.09
