    The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) dismissed 83 consolidated writ petitions seeking enhanced compensation for land acquired under the Kurha Wadhoda Islampur irrigation project. The court held that the Daulat Sitaram Kodone Supreme Court judgment cited by petitioners was inapplicable to their factually distinct case, and that subsequent higher compensation rates were justified by documented policy reasons. The court further imposed costs of Rs. 5,000 each on petitioners for attempting to mislead the court by suppressing that identical petitions had already been rejected by a coordinate bench. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
