Summary

The State of Maharashtra, represented by the Deputy Collector (Land Acquisition), appealed against the estate of the deceased Shri. Pandurang Dadya Tandel Sinde. The appeal involved procedural orders concerning interim applications and the filing of a paper book. The court allowed Interim Application No. 13 of 2019 and disposed of it, and also granted interim relief under prayer clause (b) of Interim Application No. 14 of 2019, conditioning it on the appellant depositing the full decretal amount with interest within eight weeks. The court warned that failure to make the deposit would automatically vacate the interim relief. Additionally, the appellant was directed to file the paper book within one year from the date of the order. The matter remains pending for final determination of the appeal.
