    Summary The High Court of Bombay (Nagpur Bench) dismissed 84 consolidated writ petitions filed by land owners seeking enhanced compensation for lands acquired under the Kurha Wadhoda irrigation project. The petitioners argued they were entitled to parity with similarly situated landowners who received higher compensation in subsequent years. However, the court held that a previously decided coordinate bench judgment had already rejected identical arguments, and the cited Supreme Court precedent was inapplicable to these facts. The court also criticized petitioners' counsel for suppressing knowledge of the prior coordinate bench decision and attempting to mislead the court, dismissing all petitions with costs of Rs. 5,000 each.
