The respondent’s land admeasuring Ac.1.02 guntas in Poddur Village of Gadwal Mandal, Mahabubnagar District, was acquired for the excavation of the tailend approach channel of BTUT at K.Ms. 31.200 of P.J.P. Right Main Canal. The Land Acquisition Officer, upon due consideration, awarded Rs.16,000/- per acre. Aggrieved thereby, the respondent along with others similarly situated approached the reference Court under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. By the common Order and Award dated 08.01.2004, the reference Court enhanced the compensation from Rs.16,000/- per acre to Rs.25,000/- per acre. Relevant to note, the enhancement was effected by the common Order in three O.Ps., viz., O.P.Nos.851, 852 and 854 of 1994. The present appeal arises out of O.P.No.852 of 1994. The appeals preferred by the State as against O.P.Nos.851 and 854 of 1994 in A.S.Nos.421 of 2005 and 307 of 2005 respectively were already dismissed by this Court. Copies of the Judgments dated 14.02.2005 and 24.01.2005 passed by this Court in A.S.Nos.421 of 2005 and 307 of 2005 respectively are placed on record and indicate that this Court, having regard to the trivial and insignificant amounts involved in the appeals, dismissed the same. In the present case also, the value of the appeal is only Rs.9,450/-. As the enhancement effected by the reference Court stood confirmed in the other two appeals, we see no reason to take a different view. The Appeal is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. _________ DECEMBER, 2010. PGS
