THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR L.A.A.S No. 1304, 1371, 1434, 1575, 1813, 1814, 1815 AND 1971 OF 2005 COMMON JUDGMENT: (Per GR,J) These are all claimants appeals preferred against the common order of the Reference Court of the learned Senior Civil Judge, Allagadda dated 3.12.2004 passed in batch of O.Ps being O.P.No.6 of 2002 and batch. An extent of Ac.24.76 cents land in Sanjamala village was acquired for excavation of channels of Srisailam Right Bank Canal. After due process, the Land Acquisition Officer, determined the marked value at Rs.36,000/- per acre. Aggrieved claimants sought reference, which was numbered as O.P. No. 6 of 2002 and batch. Interalia, the claimant pleaded before the Reference Court that in a batch of O.Ps being O.P.No.195 of 2001 to 199 of 2001 arising from the same award No.38 of 1999 dated 16.10.2000 the Reference Court had earlier determined the market value at Rs.40,000/- per acre. The claimants also sought higher compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh only) per acre on the basis of the income asserted to have been derived from the yield of the lands acquired. No documentary evidence was adduced by the claimants in support of their claim for Rs.1,00,000/- per acre either pertaining to the nature of the crops cultivated on the lands or the amount of income derived from the usufruct. Only the oral testimony of the claimants asserting that the lands are black cotton soil and very fertile and yielding income of Rs.10,000/- per acre was on record. In the circumstances above, the learned Reference Court, on the basis of the market value determined by the Reference Court in connected O.P.No. 195 of 2001 to 199 of 2001 determined the market value at Rs.40,000/- per acre as against the amount of Rs.36,000/- per acre determined in the award. In these appeals, Mr Ratangapani Reddy, learned counsel for the appellants, except reiterating the claim unsuccessfully asserted before the learned Reference Court and without any supporting documentary evidence or material , claims further enhancement and higher determination of market value as against that determined by the learned Reference Court. We find no evidence whatsoever or any material to justify the appellants’ claim for higher compensation on the basis of higher market value to be fixed for the lands acquired. Except the ambiguous assertion that the lands comprised are black cotton soil, very fertile lands and receiving an income of Rs.10,000/- per acre as asserted by one of the claimants recorded as testimony of P.W. 1 by the Reference Court, there is no material or evidence in support of the plea. For the aforesaid analysis, there are no merits, the appeals are accordingly dismissed but in the circumstances there shall be no orders as to costs. _________________ GODA RAGHURAM,J _______________ SANJAY KUMAR,J DATE: 21.12.2010 TVK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR L.A.A.S No. 1304, 1371, 1434, 1575, 1813, 1814, 1815 AND 1971 OF 2005 DATE: 21.12.2010
