ORDER

¶133

. These appeals are placed before today’s Lok Adalat with the consent of the parties.

¶134

Mr. A.M. Phule/Mr. S.S. Dande, learned A.G.Ps for State, Mr. P.G. Mulay, Deputy Collector, Ahmedpur, District Latur and Mr. B.M. Thorat, Executive Engineer, P.W.D. Latur are present on behalf of Acquiring Body/State. The claimants are represented by their respective Advocates.

¶135

The learned Advocates for the Acquiring Body/State and the claimants fairly conceded that the Government of Maharashtra, vide Government Resolution No.Sankirna-2014/ pra.kra.4/Bham-1/A-4, dated 3^rd November, 2016 with Government Corrigendums dated 23^rd February, 2017 and 13^th August, 2018 to the said Government Resolution, took decision to settle the appeals by accepting the market rates determined by the Reference Court, which are within the parameters set out in the Government Resolution. The statement made by the both the learned advocates is in consonance with the recitals in the Government Resolution. In turn, these appeals are fit to dispose of before the Lok Adalat.

¶136

The learned Advocates for both the parties further submit

¶137

FA No.29/2005 & Ors.

¶138

¶139

that as far as the interest U/s. 28 and 34 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short “Act”) awarded by the SLAO as well as Reference Court shall be as per verdict by the Full Bench in the case of State of Maharashtra vs. Kailash Shiva Rangari, 2016 (4) ALL MR 513 and the Hon’ble Single Judge in the case of State of Maharashtra vs. Ramesh Tukaram Meshram – 2018 (1) ALL MR 645. In turn, they submit that the impugned Award may be modified to that extent as far as interest is concerned.

¶140

Having considered the legal position ruled in both the aforesaid judgments, the impugned Award/s stands modified. The interest shall be calculated, if required, as per these two judgments.

¶141

The Acquiring Body/State shall deposit the amount of compensation as per modified Award within six months from the date of this order. The learned advocates for both the parties further submit fairly that the amount shall not carry interest which would be deposited within period of six months. The statement is accepted. However, it is clarified, if the amount is deposited after six months, then it shall carry the interest in terms of Section 28 or 34 of the Act, as the case may be.

¶142

The learned advocates for both the parties further made submission on the point of amount deposited. As far as the amount, if any, already deposited and withdrawn fully by the parties, then nothing survives in respect of said amount.

¶143

The amount deposited in this Court and not withdrawn or which would be deposited in terms of this compromise, be

¶144

FA No.29/2005 & Ors.

¶145

¶146

transmitted to the concerned Reference Court with further directions to disburse the said amount to the claimants in the terms of this Award and excess amount, if any, to the Acquiring Body.

¶147

The applicants are at liberty to make appropriate application for withdrawal before the reference Court. If the amount in terms of compromise above is not deposited within six months, the claimants are at liberty to file Execution Proceeding before the Reference Court.

¶148

The bank guarantee / security / surety, if any, given by the claimants be released in favour of the claimants.

¶149

The appeals stand disposed of. The Award be prepared in terms of this order.

¶150

The Civil Applications, if any, except the application to bring on record legal heirs and the cross objections, stand disposed of.

¶151

The Court Fee Certificate be issued as per the Rules.
