This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Learned AGP has no instructions whether the compensation amount has been deposited by the acquiring body or not.
2. Ms. Vaishali B. Deshmukh, learned counsel appearing for the Petitioners has submitted that despite the land having been acquired and possession having been taken on 16th December 2003, the Respondents have not paid compensation and now the Respondents have prepared and forwarded a proposal for acquisition of lands of the Petitioners on 5th March 2026 without depositing the compensation.
3. Although notice was issued and time granted to take instructions whether the acquiring body has deposited the compensation or not, as has been noted above, there is no response to the same.
4. Accordingly, this Court directs the acquiring body as well as the State to acquire the land Gut Nos. 1187, 1188, 1190, 1191 and 1201 of Suresh 3/4
Village Angar, Tq. Mohol, Dist. Solapur, to the extent of 3 Ha. 59 R of the Petitioners, and make the payment of compensation to the Petitioners as per the procedure prescribed under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
5. The Petition to accordingly stand disposed of. (NEERAJ P. DHOTE, J.) (ABHAY AHUJA, J.) Suresh 4/4
