THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI L.A.A.S.No.89 of 2007 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice V. Eswaraiah) Heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant. The land of the respondent-claimant to an extent of Ac.0-31 cents in Sy.No.473/A1 situated at Bhanumukkala village, Atmakur Division, Kurnool District, was acquired for the purpose of excavation of link channel of Velgode balancing reservoir and award, dated 20- 05-1985, was passed by the Land Acquisition Officer fixing the market value @ Rs.7,000/- per acre. On reference, the Reference Court enhanced the market value from Rs.7,000/- per acre to Rs.30,000/- per acre. As the subject matter of the value of the appeal itself is Rs.6,944/-, out of which, Rs.4,800/- was already paid on 14-02-2007, we are of the opinion that the claimant being small land holder, it may not be just and proper for him to spend for litigation. Therefore, without going into the merits of the case, we are not inclined to interfere with the order passed by the Reference Court. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J _______________ NOUSHAD ALI, J Date: 22-10-2010 Prv
