:1: IN IN IN THE THE THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION FIRST APPEAL NO.1098 OF 2008 The State of Maharashtra. ..Appellant. Vs. Shankar S. Ghadashi and anr. ..Respondents. Mr. Bharat Mehta,AGP. for the State. Mr. S.B.Shetye for the Respondents 1 and 2. CORAM: R.S. MOHITE, J. DATE : 25th June,2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. This is a first appeal filed by the State impugning a judgment and order passed by the Civil Judge, S.D. Ratnagiri on 26.6.2002 in L.A.R. No.90/1994. The acquired land was admeasuring 35-Are situated in Village Ghadshi, Tal. & District Ratnagiri. Section 4 Notification was issued on 19.2.1992 and the award was given on 18.10.1993. Under the Award rate awarded was Rs.350/- per Are. The Reference Court has enhanced the award to Rs.2000/- per Are and this has been done as per the Judgment given in L.A.R.No.76/1994. The same judgment was in respect of the land under the same notification and of the same village. Nothing has been pointed out to me to indicate that the said judgment was wrongly applied. 3. The other reasoning pertains to sole instance of Nov. 1994. In that instance land of 3.35 Are was :2: purchased at Rs.31,000/-. That land was non agriculture land. The Reference Court has held that the costs of the land in the year 1992 could have been about Rs.5000/-. The Reference court has concluded that in respect of the agriculture land, it would therefore, be taken as Rs.2000/- Are. Even if this reasoning is not perfectly logical yet by the single set of reasoning pertaining to LAR No.76/1994. I find that finding recorded by the reference court required to be confirmed and not interfered with in first appeal. The first appeal is therefore, dismissed. (R.S. MOHITE, J.)
