IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA MISC.CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 631 OF 2010 IN FIRST APPEAL NO. 65 OF 2004 MR. GOVIND G.POY RAITURKAR,MARGAO-GOA. ... Applicant Versus THE LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER AND ANR., ... Respondents Mr. S.S. Kakodkar, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. V. Rodrigues, Additional Government Advocate for the Respondents. Coram:- F. M. REIS, J. Date:- 17th September, 2010 P.C.: This is an application for adducing evidence in the nature of two Sale Deeds one dated 14/3/1985 and the other dated 17/07/1986, both registered before the Sub-registrar of Salcete. 2. The learned Additional Government Advocate states that the said documents have no relevance as they are not comparable with the land acquired. But however he submits that in case the said documents are permitted to be produced, the respondents should be given an opportunity to lead rebuttal evidence to dispute the relevance of the said documents. 3. As the contents of the application which are supported by affidavit have not been disputed by the respondents, I find no reason not to allow the application to produce the said documents. The authenticity of the said documents is not in doubt and the respondents shall have ample opportunity to cross examine the witnesses and to adduce evidence to establish their contention that they are not relevant for the purpose of fixing the market value of the acquired land. Hence the application deserves to be granted. 4. In view of the above, the application is allowed. The applicants are granted leave to rely upon the said two Sale Deeds subject to the payment of costs of Rs.750/- to the Goa State Legal Services Authority. Application stands disposed of accordingly. F. M. REIS, J. arp/*
