IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA FIRST APPEAL NO. 348 OF 2005 DEPUTY COLLECTOR AND S.D.O. AND ANR., ... Appellants Versus SMT. MARIA JEROMILA D'COSTA, CURCHOREM GOA. ... Respondent Shri S. Khedekar holding for Shri G. Shirodkar, Additional Government Advocate for the Appellants. Shri Arun Bras De Sa, Advocate for the Respondent. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 4th October, 2010 P.C.:- Heard. This is State's appeal and is directed against Judgment dated 16-9-2005. The acquisition in question is as regards 55 sq. meters of survey No.60/5 of Village Curchorem. It was acquired by virtue of notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 published on Gazette dated 18-12-1997. The learned reference Court awarded compensation to the Applicants(Respondents herein) on the basis of award dated 5-5-2005 in L.A.C. No.62 of 2004. That pertained to survey No.60/8. The learned reference Court has noted that the lands of both the aforesaid survey numbers were in the close vicinity and were acquired by the same notification. There were appeals filed by both the parties in relation to acquisition of survey No.60/8 being First Appeals Nos. 218 and 254 of 2005. In the said First Appeals, it was ordered that the Applicants would be paid compensation at the rate of Rs.120/- per sq. meter. In M/s Printers House Pvt. Ltd. v. Mst. Salyadan(dec.) by L.Rs. and others(AIR 1994 SC 1160) the Apex Court has stated that if comparable sales method of valuation of land is adopted for determining the market value of an acquired plot of land, it generally holds good for determination of the market value of several acquired plots of land, if acquisition of all such plots of land is made pursuant to the same preliminary notification. Consequently, in this case also the Appellants(Respondents) would be entitled to compensation at the rate of Rs.120/- per sq. meter with all consequential statutory benefits. In the light of that, nothing survives in this appeal, and, consequently the same is disposed off. N. A. BRITTO, J. RD.
