PER COURT :-

¶34

Heard Mr Ruturaj C. Patil, learned counsel for the applicants. He seeks stay to the execution, implementation and operation of the impugned Judgment and Award and shows willingness to deposit the part amount under the award and claims

¶35

¶36

exemption for paying the remaining amount on the ground that, the interest is awarded from the date of possession, which according to the judgment of the Full Bench of this Court in the case of State of Maharashtra vs. Kailash Shiva Rangari reported in 2016(3) Mh.L.J. 457, should have been from the date of the award and on the ground that the reference Court held that the land is seasonally irrigated, when there was no well.

¶37

While deciding these applications for grant of stay subject to directions to deposit the amount, there cannot be minute scrutiny of the judgment of the reference Court. It is not disputed that the possession of the lands were taken before the date of award without following the provisions of Section 17 of the Land Acquisition Act. In that case, the claimants would be entitled for the rental compensation. That is also not given. Therefore, question of grant of excess interest, if any, can be considered towards adjustment of rental compensation. There are reasons given for holding the land as seasonally irrigated.

¶38

In the circumstances, I follow the order passed by my brother Judge, in similar matters from the same award. Hence, the order.
