The State of Maharashtra and Ors. ..... Respondents Mr.R.V.Paranjape i/by Mr.Vikas Shivarkar, for the petitioners. Mr.V.D.Patil, Govt. Pleader, for respondent State. CORAM :P.B.MAJMUDAR & MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR, JJ. DATE : 25th NOVEMBER, 2010 P.C. 1. Initially, the petitioners have preferred References under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act. The said References were partly allowed by the Civil Court. The grievance of the petitioners is that the application submitted by the petitioners for redetermining the compensation under Section 28(A) of the Land Acquisition Act, has not been decided since long. The petitioners have preferred an application under Section 28(A) of the Act. If the said application is still pending, it is required to be disposed of one way or the other and if the Judgment given in Land Reference No.84 of 2001 is not challenged in appeal, then the said application may be disposed of now within a period of three months from today. In case for some reasons, it is not possible to take any ssp 2 WP 8925 of 2010 decision on merits on the application under Section 28(A) of the Act, then also, such decision may be communicated to the petitioners. 2. The petitioners may remain present before the concerned Officer, during Office hours on 20-12-2010 between 11.00 a.m., to 2.00 p.m., with a copy of this order as well as with relevant documents. On production of such documents, the concerned Officer shall decide the said application within three months from the petitioner’s appearing before him. It is clarified that in case if any appeal is pending against the judgment in LAR No.84 of 2001, the said aspect may also be brought to the notice of the petitioners. 3. Subject to what is stated above, the writ petition is disposed of. ( MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR, J. ) ( P.B.MAJMUDAR, J. )
