HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA. ELANGO A.S. No. 960 OF 2002 BETWEEN The Deputy Director, Social Welfare, Kurnool. …Appellant/Referring Officer And L.Anasuyamma ….Respondent/claimant HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA. ELANGO A.S. No. 960 OF 2002 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A. Gopal Reddy) The Deputy Director,Social Welfare,Kurnool, preferred this appeal questioning the enhancement of compensation made by the learned Senior Civil Judge, Nandyal,from Rs. 5,000/- per acre to Rs.10,000/- per acre, in the Judgment dated 23.10.2000 passed in O.P.No. 403 of 1989. The land in an extent of Ac.1.48 cents covered by Sy.No. 419/2 of Pusulur village, belonging to the Claimant was acquired by the Government for the purpose of providing house sites to the Harijans. The Land Acquisition Oﬃcer ﬁxed market value of the acquired land at Rs.5,000/- per acre. On a reference being made, the Reference Court enhanced the market value of the acquired land to Rs.10,000/- per acre. Aggrieved by the said enhancement, the present appeal is preferred. The value of the appeal itself is Rs.7,400/-. Having regard to the trivial and insigniﬁcant nature of the amount involved, we are of the concerned opinion that this appeal ought not to have been bee preferred by the State. Therefore, we are not inclined to entertain this appeal and adjudicate the same on merits. The appeal is therefore dismissed. However, this judgment shall not operate as precedent for the purpose of determining the compensation in respect of other lands, if any, acquired even in the same village and shall not have any binding precedent value. The appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. --------------------------------------- JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY ----------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date: 10-06-2010.
