- Disposal
- DISPOSED OFF
Holding
The first appeal is disposed of with a direction to the appellate court to decide the pending regular civil appeal within three months, and the civil application to bring the heirs on record is allowed.
Summary
The appellant, Vasu Deo Dhondiram Pujari, filed a first appeal under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1849, seeking relief after a Special Civil Suit No. 323/1991 was partially decreed and a regular civil appeal (No. 483/2012) was pending. A separate civil application (No. 10727/2026) was filed to condone delay and bring the legal heirs of the deceased appellant on record, which the court allowed, setting aside any abatement. The court noted the pendency of the regular civil appeal and directed that it be decided within three months. Consequently, the first appeal was disposed of, and any pending civil applications were also dismissed. The court ordered any deposited amounts to be transferred to the appellate court.
Issues considered
- Whether the delay in filing the civil application to bring the legal heirs on record can be condoned.
- Whether the first appeal under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1849, should be disposed of pending the decision of the regular civil appeal No. 483/2012.
