Holding

The Court fixed the final hearing of the pending appeals for 30 April 2026 and disposed of the civil applications seeking an early date.

Summary

The petitioners, Janardhan Nivrutti Panchal and Kalindabai Vishnu Chavan, filed civil applications seeking an early date of hearing for appeals pending since 2013 concerning compensation claims against the State of Maharashtra. The respondents, represented by the Collector of Latur, opposed the request for an expedited schedule. The Court examined the pendency of the appeals and the need for timely adjudication of compensation matters. It ordered that the first appeals be fixed for final hearing on board on 30 April 2026. Consequently, the pending civil applications for fixing an early date were disposed of.
