The land acquired is from Village Owe. In earlier judgments delivered by me, on the basis of the Judgment of Division Bench (A.P. Shah and J.A. Patil, JJ.) delivered on 16th March, 2000 in group of Appeals i.e. First Appeal No. 875 of 1985 and 30 other First Appeals with 4 Cross :2: Objections, the compensation was fixed on the basis of the criteria, viz. the distance of the acquired land from Bombay Pune National Highway.
