: RAVINDRA V. GHUGE & S.G. CHAPALGAONKAR, JJ.

DATED : 15.02.2024 PC :- 01.

Admittedly, the Petitioner has received compensation in the land acquired in Jayakwadi Project, Stage-2 in 1975. The law on rental compensation, initially introduced in 1972, underwent certain modifications on 02.04.1979. There are no pleadings in the Petition as to when did the Petitioner lose possession of the land. Copy of the award is not placed on record. Advance payment was made on 31.03.1978 on account of the land having submerged in the Manjalgaon reservoir. After 48 years, a representation dated 12.01.2023 is made by the Petitioner to the District Collector, claiming rental compensation.

( 2 ) wp1811.24 02.

In this situation, we would not issue a Writ of Mandamus directing the representation to be decided filed after 48 years of the acquisition. This Petition is, therefore, disposed off. [S.G. CHAPALGAONKAR,J.] [RAVINDRA V. GHUGE,J.] snk/2024/FEB24/wp1811.24
