The Land Acquisition Collector had pronounced the award on 13.1.2006 assessing the market value of the acquired land @ ` 5,00,000/- per acre. The land owners being dissatisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Collector filed references which were referred to the Reference Court.

Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed.
