THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY APPEAL SUIT No.3082 of 1999 JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice A. Gopal Reddy) This appeal under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (‘the Act’ for short) has been preferred by the Land Acquisition Officer (Revenue Divisional Officer) against the order dated 18.08.1999, passed by the Senior Civil Judge, Medak, in O.P.No.16 of 1996. Lands to an extent of Ac.0.23, Ac.0.08, Ac.0.11 and Ac.0.08 in survey Nos. 109, 82, 458 and 83 respectively situated at Uppulingapur Village, Yeludurthy Mandal, Medak District, were acquired for the purpose of excavation of R.F. Canal of Haldivagu, by issuing a draft notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, published in the Official Gazette No.44 dated 22.01.1997. The Land Acquisition Officer, after due enquiry, passed an award fixing the compensation of the acquired land at Rs.6,000/- per acre for dry land and Rs.9,500/- per acre for SCW land. On reference, the reference Court granted enhanced compensation at Rs.7,000/- per acre for dry land and at Rs.8,600/- per acre for SCW lands, over and above what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. Hence, this appeal. The value of this appeal is Rs.9,390/-. Having regard to the trivial nature of the amount involved, we are not inclined to entertain the appeal and adjudicate the same on merits. The appeal shall accordingly stand dismissed. This judgment, however, shall not operate as precedent for the purpose of determining the compensation in respect of other lands, if any acquired even in the same village and shall not have any binding precedent value. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J __________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 13th April, 2010 GHN
