    The High Court of Bombay (Nagpur Bench) dismissed 83 consolidated writ petitions seeking enhanced compensation for land acquired under the Kurha Wadhoda irrigation project. The court held that the Supreme Court's *Daulat Sitaram Kodone* judgment cited by petitioners was inapplicable as the facts were substantially different, and that higher prices in subsequent sales were justified by documented government resolutions. Additionally, the court imposed costs of Rs. 5,000 per petition, finding that petitioners' counsel had suppressed a prior identical coordinate bench decision and attempted to mislead the court. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
