HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH AND HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI A.S.No. 1558 of 2000 ORDER: The Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) Revenue Division, Visakhapatnam, filed this appeal against the order in O.P.No.72 to 1985, dated 28.09.1997, on the file of the learned Subordinate Judge, Anakapalli in enhancing the compensation from Rs.16,670/- per acre to Rs.49,000/- per acre. The learned Subordinate Judge, Anakapalli disposed of the present O.P. along with O.P.Nos.69, 70 and 71 of 1985. As against the common order passed in O.P.Nos.69, 71 and 168 of 1985, A.S.Nos. 3849, 3858 of 2000 and 304 of 2001 respectively were filed by the appellant herein and the claimant in O.P.No.69 of 1985 filed A.S.No.2014 of 1996. A Division Bench of this Court, by order dated 13.10.2003, following the earlier judgment of this Court in A.S.No.2036 of 1998, reduced the compensation from Rs.49,000/- per acre to Rs.20,500/- per acre in A.S.Nos. 3849, 3858 of 2000 and 304 of 2001. As the acquired lands, in the aforesaid appeals as well as in this appeal, were against the same notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’) and a common order was passed by the Reference Court, We are of the opinion that the subject matter of this appeal is squarely covered by the judgment in A.S.Nos.3849 of 2000 and batch, dated 13.10.2003. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed holding that the respondent-claimant is entitled to the compensation at Rs.20,500/- per acre with all attendant benefits under the provisions of the Act, together with interest on solatium. No costs. V.ESWARAIAH,J NOUSHAD ALI,J Date:29.09.2010 usd
