Heard the learned counsel for both the sides. 2. These appeals arise out of the Judgments and Awards dated 02.12.2009 passed by the learned 2nd Joint Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nanded in Land Acquisition References Nos. 133 of 2001 and 134 of 2001, respectively. 3. Learned counsel Mr. Chincholkar for the appellants has tendered across the Bar a copy of the order dated 21.07.2026 passed by this Court in First Appeal No.379 of 2010. He submits that the land of the appellant was 2026:BHC-AUG:39528 904-FA-676-2010.odt 2 acquired from the same village i.e. Brahmapuri, Taluka and District Nanded, for the same public purpose i.e. Godavari River Action Plan and Water Filter Center at Brahmapuri, and under the very same notification as involved in the said appeal. It is, therefore, contended that the controversy involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the order dated 21.07.2026 passed in First Appeal No.379 of 2010 and connected matters, and consequently, the present appeals deserve to be disposed of in terms thereof. The learned A.G.P. appearing for State as well as the learned counsel for the acquiring body fairly concede the aforesaid position. 4. Having considered the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the respective parties and since the controversy involved in the present appeals is admittedly covered by the order of this Court, I see no reason to take a different view. The present appeals, therefore, deserve to be disposed of in terms of the dated 21.07.2026 passed in First Appeal No.379 of 2010 and connected matters. Hence, the following order: O R D E R (I) First Appeals are allowed partly. (II) Impugned judgments and awards dated 02.12.2009 passed by the learned 2nd Joint Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nanded in LAR Nos. 133 of 2009 and 134 of 2009 are modified 904-FA-676-2010.odt 3 (III) The claimants are entitled to compensation at the rate of Rs.17,93,983/- per Hectare (i.e. Rs. 17,939.83/- per R or Rs.16.66 per sq. ft.) for acquired land.
