DATE : 28 SEPTEMBER, 2026 PER COURT : 1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2.

The learned counsel for the Appellant and learned counsel appearing for the acquiring body submit that controversy involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by order dated 01.09.2026 passed by this Court in First Appeal No. 1775 of 2011 and connected matters as the land of the appellant was acquired from the same village i.e. Gaurgaon, for the same public purpose i.e. Nagulgaon Storage Tank, and under the very same notification as involved in the said appeal. It is, therefore, contended that the present appeal deserves to be disposed of in terms thereof. The learned A.G.P. appearing for respondent-State. 2026:BHC-AUG:44572 8-FA-1787-2011.odt 2 5.
