The court dismissed both consolidated petitions, holding that petitioner Anil Punjaji Jorwekar's land was never actually acquired for the Beed-Charata-Nagar road project since the road was constructed on an already existing government cart road. The court found the petitioners failed to file any claim for 25 years after the 1991 land possession, made their first representation only in 2006, and provided no satisfactory explanation for this delay and laches. Additionally, the court upheld the government's cancellation of the 2013 acquisition award after investigation revealed the land was not needed, as sale deeds from 1970 showed the road already existed on the southern boundary of the disputed plot. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
