Dhote, J., pronounced 22.07.2025: review application by legal heirs of a deceased land acquisition claimant rejected. Appeal had been disposed of by consent on 07.05.2025 in terms of earlier orders fixing Rs.2,00,000/- per hectare for Jirayat and Rs.4,00,000/- per hectare for Bagayat land; applicants' grievance that the Reference Court misclassified Gat Nos. 67, 76/2 and 135 as Jirayat despite 7/12 extracts showing Bagayati crops and well irrigation from Gat No. 124/1 did not disclose discovery of new evidence, error apparent on the face of the record, or other sufficient reason under Order XLVII Rule 1 CPC. Only statute engaged: Order XLVII Rule 1, Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. No precedents cited.
