    The High Court of Judicature at Bombay (Nagpur Bench) dismissed all 83 consolidated writ petitions filed by landowners seeking enhanced compensation for lands acquired under the Kurha Wadhoda irrigation project. The court held that a coordinate bench had already rejected identical claims, and the petitioner's counsel had suppressed this fact while attempting to mislead the court; consequently, the court imposed costs of Rs. 5,000 per petitioner and found the cited Supreme Court judgment in Daulat Sitaram Kodone inapplicable to the present factually distinct cases.
