2024:BHC-AUG:5923 1-WP-12338-23.odt

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 12338 OF 2023 PRAKSH TARACHAND SISODE

VERSUS

KHARGON TRANSMISSION COMPANY LTD THROUGH DEPUTY MANAGER AND ANOTHER ...

Advocate for the Petitioner : Mr. Vakil Afzal Husain M. ...

CORAM : S. G. MEHARE, J.

DATE : 13-03-2024 PER COURT :- 1.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2.

It is surprising, the petition has been registered without annexing the impugned order.

3.

It is an unique petition, wherein prayer has been made to direct the respondents to pay enhanced compensation. However, the petition does not bear the copy of the award or any settlement of the compensation.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has applied for copies by an application under Right to Information Act on 19.02.2022. However, the authority did not supply him a copy of the award or any settlement of compensation. He submits that the authority has submitted other documents.

1-WP-12338-23.odt 5.

By letter dated 12.01.2023, the authority has specifically mentioned that if the petitioner is not satisfied with the information supplied, he may prefer the appeal before the first appellate authority-cum- Sub-Divisional Officer. The authority informed where the appeal lies, even then he did not prefer an appeal.

5.

The officer appears to have done scrutiny scrupulously. The prayers have not been correctly read while scrutiny of the petition. 6.

The grievance of the petitioner is, he has received a meager amount of compensation and he seeks enhancement. These are always the disputed facts. The writ court jurisdiction is not like a appellate court to determine the disputed facts. The powers of the High Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, are supervisory; for that purpose, there shall be an order passed in judicial proceeding, as it may be quasi-judicial or judicial. This seems to be a chance petition. There is nothing to adjudicate in this writ petition. Hence, stands dismissed in limine. ( S. G. MEHARE ) JUDGE rrd
