    Summary The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) dismissed 83 consolidated writ petitions filed by landowners 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. The court held that a prior coordinate bench had already rejected identical claims based on the same Supreme Court precedent (Daulat Sitaram Kodone), finding the legal position distinguishable and noting the subsequent higher rates were justified by revised government resolutions. Additionally, the court imposed costs of ₹5,000 per petition, finding that petitioners' counsel had suppressed knowledge of the prior adverse judgment and attempted to mislead the court. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
