Mr. Shubham D. Jayabhar, Advocate h/f Mr. D.R. Jayabhar, Advocate for Appellant-Acquiring Mr. S.N. Morampalle, AGP for Respondent No.1-State …... CORAM : SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J. DATE : 04 SEPTEMBER, 2026 PER COURT : 1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. The present appeal arises out of the common impugned Judgment and Award dated 24.11.2024 passed by the learned VI Adhoc Additional District Judge, Beed, in Land Acquisition Reference No.257 of 1997 and connected LARs. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant and the learned AGP submit that the controversy involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the order dated 07.07.2026 passed by this Court in First Appeal No.447 of 2007 and connected matters, as the land of the appellant was acquired from the same village, i.e. Lonighat, for the same public purpose, i.e. Upper Manjara Project (Dokewadi Project), and under the very same notification as involved in the said appeal. They, therefore, submit that the present appeal may also be disposed of in terms of the said order. 2026:BHC-AUG:41303 6-FA-3210-2009.odt 2 4.
