THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.S. APPA RAO A.S. No. 1862 of 1998 O R D E R: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice V. Eswaraiah) Heard learned Government Pleader for Appeals for the appellant. Though no notice could be served on the respondent, as the appellant has failed to provide the correct address, however, we have heard the matter on merits. This Appeal has been preferred aggrieved by the order dated 11.09.1992 in O.P.No. 2 of 1985 on the ﬁle of the Subordinate Judge, Narsapur, awarding the compensation for the acquired land of the respondent - claimant, of an extent of Ac.2.72 cents in Survey No. 468/2-B of Rustumbada Village, Narsapur Mandal, pursuant to the notiﬁcation issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, published on 05.11.1983. An award was passed on 25.03.1984 ﬁxing the compensation at Rs.10,000/- per acre. On reference, the trial Court disposed of L.A.O.Ps. No. 1 and 2 of 1985. L.A.O.P.No. 2 of 1985 is the subject matter of the present Appeal. The trial Court enhanced the compensation from Rs.10,000/- to Rs.33,000/-. Hence, the appeal. We have perused the order under appeal. Exs.A1 is the sale deed executed in favour of P.W.6 for Rs.3,000/- for an extent of Ac.0.09 cents in Survey No. 627/1. Under Ex.A2 sale deed, the land of an extent of Ac.0.50 cents was sold for Rs.16,500/-. Under Ex.A3, Ac.0.05 cents was sold for Rs.6,500/-. Though the land covered under Exs.A1 and A2 are situated at a distant place, the lands covered by Exs.A3 and A4 are near to the acquired lands. By Ex.A4 sale deed, an extent of Ac.0.27 cents was sold for Rs.26,120/-, which comes to Rs.1 lac per acre. However, the Court below taking into consideration Exs.A1 and A2 alone, ﬁxed the compensation at Rs.33,000/- per acre. The subject land is situate in Narsapur Town which is a municipality and having high potentiality. Admittedly, the lands were acquired for the purpose of providing house sites and the sale transactions under Exs.A3 and A4 indicate that there is steep hike in the land value. Therefore, the compensation ﬁxed by the reference Court, which reﬂects true and correct market value, in our view, is just and reasonable. Hence, we are not inclined to interfere with the order passed by the Court below. We see no merits in the appeal and it is accordingly, dismissed. No costs. ---------------------- (V.
