Case Summary: WP/1315/2015 – Govind Lalji Patel v. State of Maharashtra Decision: The Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed all consolidated writ petitions challenging a 2006 land acquisition award by CIDCO for road widening. The court found the acquisition valid under MRTP Act, rejecting claims of procedural defects and holding that petitioners had knowledge of proceedings but delayed filing petitions by 8+ years. Key Reasoning: The court applied MRTP Act principles (which don't incorporate Land Acquisition Act's lapsing provisions), found substantial procedural compliance, noted compensation was deposited, and determined petitioners' continued possession was legally irrelevant post-award. Petitioner Shivji Lalji Patel's petition was dismissed with ₹50,000 costs for suppressing earlier dismissal of his brother's similar petition. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
