The appeal was deemed withdrawn and consequently dismissed.
Summary
The State of Maharashtra filed an appeal against Dhavalchandra Patel concerning compensation awarded for land acquisition. The Special Land Acquisition Officer had offered Rs.4,14,440, which the reference court enhanced to Rs.14,15,000, a figure within four times the original offer as per government notifications dated 3 November 2016, 11 May 2018 and 13 August 2018. The appellant’s additional government pleader sought to withdraw the appeal on this basis. The court examined the calculation and found the enhanced amount complied with the statutory ceiling. Consequently, the appeal was disposed of as withdrawn and the court fees were to be refunded according to the rules.
