Since, the petitioner is paid compensation of Rs. 28,30,602/- towards Gharkul, petitioner is not entitled to claim compensation for the land on which Gharkul was constructed. It is a matter of record that the land still stands in the name of State Government. The petitioner is paid adequate compensation towards Gharkul and claim of the petitioner is misconceived. The petition therefore is devoid of merit and hence is dismissed. (ABASAHEB D. SHINDE, J.) (NITIN B. SURYAWANSHI, J.) Bhagyawant Punde
