IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD FIRST APPEAL NO. 2252 OF 2010 WITH FIRST APPEAL NO. 2253 OF 2010 Office Notes,Office Memoranda of Coram,appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders Mr. S.N.Kendre Asstt.Govt. Pleader for State. .......................... CORAM : S.V. GANGAPURWALA, J. DATE : 24/03/2011 PER COURT : 1. Heard the learned Assistant Govt. Pleader for State. 2. The lands of the claimants were acquired by the State. Being dis-satisfied with the amount of compensation awarded by the Special Land Acquisition Officer [ For short, ‘ S.L.A.O. ’ ], the claimants preferred Reference under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act. The Reference Court enhanced the compensation amount @ Rs. 13,000/- per Acre, whereas the S.L.A.O. has awarded compensation @ Rs. 13,000/- per Hector. The learned Assistant Govt. Pleader contends that the Reference Court has enhanced the 3 FA 2252,2253.2010 compensation without any evidence. The S.L.A.O. has awarded reasonable and just amount of compensation. 3. With the assistance of the learned Assistant Govt. Pleader, I have gone through the Judgment. 4. The Reference Court has considered the sale instance at Exh. 20 which was of the year 1982 and the same was for consideration of Rs. 14,500/-. The same was much prior to the notification. The said sale instance was comparable sale instance as the same was in respect of the property situated in the nearby vicinity. The Reference Court has properly considered the same and has awarded just and proper compensation. 5. In light of the fact that no error is committed by the Reference Court and the compensation is enhanced only by Rs. 1500/-, I am not inclined to interfere with the said Judgment. As such, the First Appeals are dismissed with no order as to costs. [ S.V. GANGAPURWALA,J. ] KNP/FA 2252,2253.2010 3 FA 2252,2253.2010
