Mr. Shrikant Sonkawade, Advocate for the Petitioner Mr. S.B. Narwade, AGP for Respondents/State CORAM : SMT. VIBHA KANKANWADI & HITEN S. VENEGAVKAR, JJ.

DATE : 06 FEBRUARY 2026 ORDER :

.

Present petitioners are the land owners, whose lands have been acquired by Respondents/Authorities in the year 2001. Even the award pertaining to the land acquisition has been passed by learned Collector, Latur after determining the amount of compensation in the year 2001 itself. However, physical possession of the lands was never taken, but the revenue entries were effected in the revenue records of the acquired [1]

942-WP-1412-2026.odt lands. Petitioners submit that as the compensation has not been paid till date, they have opposed the authorities taking possession of the acquired lands. Thus, as on today, the physical possession of the lands continued to be with the petitioners.

2.

We do not wish to enter into this aspect of the matter and therefore, this petition can be disposed of by directing the petitioner to make appropriate representation/application to the Collector, Latur. If such representation/application is made by the petitioners, the Collector, Latur shall decide the same in accordance with law. [ HITEN S. VENEGAVKAR ] [ SMT. VIBHA KANKANWADI ] JUDGE JUDGE Bhagyawant Punde [2]
