Suryabhan Waman Gaikwad and Ors. v. Madhu Lilaram Gurnani and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Article 227 writ jurisdiction; refusal to entertain writ petition; Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal revision application allowed; Tahasildar / Agricultural Land Tribunal / Sub Divisional Officer orders set aside; Section 84C Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act 1948 proceedings initiated in 2011; land sold in 2006 with entire consideration received; sale deed unchallenged; MIDC acquisition; compensation paid to last purchaser; petitioners seeking compensation after realising full sale price; Bombay High Court, Sandeep V. Marne, J.; writ petition rejected (dismissed); no precedent cited.
What did the court decide?
This Court declined to exercise extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India in aid of the Petitioners' design to secure compensation, because they had already earned the entire amount of consideration for sale of the land in 2006, never challenged the sale deed, and the land had been acquired by MIDC with compensation already paid to the last purchaser.
