The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the acquired land @ Rs. 3,00,000/- per acre. The land owners feeling dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded by the Collector, filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below assessed the market value @ Rs. 7,40,000/- per acre for the land abutting the village abadi and Rs. 5,00,000/- per acre for the remaining land.
