CORAM : K.J. Rohee & R.C. Chavan, JJ. DATE : 3rd April, 2008 1. Heard the learned counsel for parties. 2. The Land Acquisition Officer had granted compensation of Rs.3,13,690/-. Respondent No.1, who is uncle of respondent Nos.2, 3 and 4, and husband's brother of respondent No.5, claims one-half share in the said compensation. The Reference Court has granted compensation of Rs.16,44,000/-. 3. Considering the vast difference between the compensation granted by the Land Acquisition Officer and by the Reference Court, we think it expedient to allow respondent Nos.2 to 5 to withdraw a sum of Rs.3,13,690/- out of the amount deposited by the appellant. Respondent No.1 may withdraw 50% of the said amount and the remaining 50% shall be invested in any Nationalized Bank initially for a period of three years. 2 4. The application is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE pdl
