¶41

Learned Advocate Mr. S. V. Suryawanshi for the appellants

¶42

pointed out grounds of appeal and argued that survey no.499-A of the village Parli-Vaijanath, District Beed is owned by the appellants, and

¶43

940-fa-434-2009 -5-

¶44

respondents are no way concerned with it. The said fact was not considered by the Reference Court in its reasons and findings. He prayed to allow the appeal.

¶45

Mr. V. V. Bhavthankar, learned Advocate for respondent no.7/Municipal Council, Parli Vaijnath, District Beed strongly opposed the appeal and submitted that the reference was not preferred under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act for enhancement of the compensation. He also submitted that the appeal for enhancement of the compensation is not maintainable. He lastly prayed to dismiss the appeal against the respondent no.7.

¶46

Mr. K. J. Suryawanshi, learned Advocate for respondent nos.2-A1 to 2-A5 strongly opposed the appeal and submitted that survey no.499-A does not belong to the appellants and in his affidavit of claim before the Reference Court, he has not claimed that he is owner of the said property. He then submitted that the learned Reference Court has rightly held this aspect in the impugned judgment. He lastly prayed to dismiss the appeal.

¶47

Mr. V. V. Bhavthankar, learned Advocate for respondent no.7/Municipal Council, Parli Vaijnath, District Beed submitted that appeal is not maintainable against respondent no.7 as the issue of enhancement of compensation was not before the Reference Court. He prayed to dismiss the appeal.

¶48

940-fa-434-2009

¶49

-6-

¶50

Perused the Record and Proceedings particularly the impugned judgment and award. On perusal of impugned judgment and award, it is clear that in the Second Appeal No.79 of 1972, preferred by the original respondents, the compromise took place between the parties. In that compromise decree no such claim of this appellant is asserted and finalised in favour of the claimant in respect of Survey No.499-A.

¶51

Learned Advocate for the appellants could not point out any other document to show that the appellants are the absolute owner of survey no.499-A.

¶52

Considering the reasons stated in the paragraph no.8 of the impugned judgment and award of the learned Reference Court, this Court is of the view that the learned Reference Court has rightly considered the entire evidence on record and came to the conclusion that the appellants are not absolute owners of the Survey No.499-A. Thus, there is no scope for interference in the impugned judgment and award.

¶53

So far as the maintainability of appeal against respondent no.7 is concerned, admittedly the reference was filed under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act for apportionment of amount and not under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act for enhancement of the compensation. There is only issue of the apportionment of the amount

¶54

940-fa-434-2009

¶55

-7-

¶56

of compensation to be paid to the claimants. Therefore, appeal against respondent no.7 is not maintainable.

¶57

Considering the reasons stated above, First Appeal deserves

¶58

to be dismissed as under:

¶59

ORDER

¶60

a. First Appeal is dismissed.

¶61

b. In view of dismissal of First Appeal itself, nothing survives in the Civil Application for granting stay. Hence, Civil Application No.2603 of 2009 is disposed of.
