CA 8753/13 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD 4 CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 8753 OF 2013 IN FAST/6226/2013 THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANOTHER VERSUS PARAJI JABA NARHE ... AGP for Applicant/State : Mr. A.D. Wange Advocate for Respondent : Mr. R.S. Kasar ... WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 8754 OF 2013 IN FAST/6226/2013 … CORAM : SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J. Dated : September 30, 2026 PER COURT :- 1. In civil application filed for condonation of delay, heard the learned AGP for the State/appellant. For the averments made in the application, the application is allowed. Delay is condoned. 2. As the acquisition proceeding is initiated in the year 1993, heard finally with the consent of learned counsel for respective parties. 3. By this appeal, the appellant/State assails the judgment and award dated 22.6.2010 passed by the 3rd Jt. Civil Judge, Senior Division, Ahmednagar in LAR No. 121/1998 whereby the learned reference court has enhanced the amount of compensation. 4. The land of the claimant admeasuring 11 R. from Gat No. 203 situated at village Dhoki, Taluka Parner, was acquired for Minor Irrigation Tank. Notification under section 4 of the Act came to be issued on 22.8.1993. The Special Land Acquisition Officer has declared the award and has granted compensation. Hence, reference under section 18 of the Act 2026:BHC-AUG:46541 CA 8753/13 2 was filed by the claimants as the SLAO has granted very meager compensation. The learned reference court after considering the evidence on record has enhanced the compensation and therefore, present appeal is filed by the State. 5. After going through the order passed by the reference court, it appears that in the present matter 11 R. land was acquired from Gat No. 203 situated at village Dhoki, Taluka Parner and the reference court has enhanced compensation amount of Rs.6234/- only. Therefore, considering the above, as only Rs.6234/- was enhanced by the reference court, I hold that no case is made out by the State in the present first appeal. The appeal is devoid of merits and the same is dismissed. Pending civil application, if any, stands disposed of. ( SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J. ) ssc/
