The Bombay High Court dismissed Maharashtra's appeal against the reference court's land acquisition award without interference. The State's appeal challenging the 6th Joint CJSD Pune's judgment of July 26, 2000 (which awarded Rs. 7,892 versus the acquisition officer's Rs. 728) was upheld, with the State directed to comply within 12 weeks. The court declined to set precedent on merits given the meagre amounts involved and protracted pendency. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
