HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY A.S. No.1084 OF 2000 Dated: 16-04-2010 Between: Mandal Revenue Officer (L.A.O.), Devarakonda. Appellant AND Kumbham Kista Reddy & Another. Respondents. This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY A.S. No.1084 OF 2000 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy) This appeal by the Land Acquisition Officer under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 is directed against the orders of Subordinate Judge, Nalgonda, dated 30.11.1991 made in O.P.No.93 of 1988 whereby the market value for the acquired land was enhanced from Rs.10,000/- to Rs.16,000/- per acre. The value of the appeal itself is Rs.13,980/-. Having regard to involvement of trivial and insignificant amount, this appeal, in our considered opinion, ought not to have been preferred by the State. Even on merits, under Ex.A.1 sale deed, dated 24.8.1984, which is 2 ½ years prior to the date of issuance of notification under Section 4(1) of the Act, two guntas of land was sold by P.W.1 for a consideration of Rs.1,000/-, which works of to Rs.20,000/- per acre. In view of the same, the fixation of the market value of the acquired land at Rs.16,000/- per acre by the reference Court is just and reasonable. We see no merit in the appeal. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ A. GOPAL REDDY, J. __________________ APRIL 16, 2010 G.V. SEETHAPATHY, J. Tsr.
