IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.372 OF 2024 Sitaram Rajaram @ Rajaba Revane and others ...

Petitioners Vs.

Jayant Dhondu Revane and others ...

Respondents Mr. Tanmay Shembhavnekar a/w. Mr. Suhas S. Deokar for Petitioners. Mr. Sachin H. Kankal, AGP for Respondent No.6 - State. CORAM : MANISH PITALE & SHREERAM V. SHIRSAT, JJ.

DATE : FEBRUARY 16, 2026 P.C. :

.

By this petition, the petitioners have challenged order dated 11.10.2023 passed by the respondent No.6 - Sub-Divisional Officer and Land Acquisition Officer, whereby objections raised by the petitioners regarding disbursal of compensation amount to respondent Nos.1 to 5 was rejected.

2.

The record shows that this petition was filed as far back as in November 2023 and that, it was not circulated even once for consideration of this Court.

3.

Apart from this, we find that the respondent No.6 in the impugned order, after rejecting the objection raised by the petitioners, also directed that the compensation amount be disbursed in favour of persons whose names are found in the revenue record i.e. 7/12 extracts. By this time, the compensation amount may have already been disbursed. 4.

On a pointed query put to the learned counsel for the petitioners MINAL SANDIP PARAB by MINAL SANDIP PARAB Date:

2026.02.16 17:27:11 +0530 as to whether any proceeding was pending before a Civil Court when the 1/2

15_WP372_24.doc impugned order was passed, it was stated that no such proceeding was pending. But after the impugned order was passed, the petitioners approached the Civil Court by filing a suit. The details of the said proceedings are not available today with the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners.

5.

We are of the opinion that if such suit has been already filed before the Civil Court, nothing much remains in this petition and that, it can be disposed of by issuing appropriate directions. 6.

Learned counsel for the petitioners seek short adjournment to take instructions and to inform this Court about the pending suit before the Civil Court. Hence, list on 24.02.2026 in the supplementary list. (SHREERAM V. SHIRSAT, J.) (MANISH PITALE, J.) Minal Parab 2/2
