Heard learned counsel appearing for the ca7349.11 18 respective parties. 2. The Applicants/claimants pray for withdrawal of the amount granted as compensation by the Reference Court in respect of their lands acquired by the Respondents. The learned counsel appearing for the Applicants submit that the Applicants have led evidence in respect of sale instances, potentiality and market value of the subject lands. The claimants placed reliance on the sale deeds executed on 22nd March, 2006 and 19th July, 1999 (Exhibit 20 and 22). They also placed reliance on sale deed executed on 11th August, 2005. It is submitted that the notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act was issued on 14th June, 2006 and possession of the subject lands was taken on 26th April, 2006. The award was passed on 18th November, 2006 by the S.L.A.O. 3. According to the learned counsel for the ca7349.11 19 Applicants, the S.L.A.O. granted compensation of Rs.45,200/- per acre for dry lands and Rs.90,600/- for irrigated lands. The Reference Court enhanced the compensation to the tune of Rs.1,00,000/- per acre for dry lands and Rs.1,40,000/- per acre for irrigated lands. 4. Learned counsel Shri. Nitin Chaudhari for the Respondents submits that the Reference Court enhanced the compensation double than what S.L.A.O. had granted to the claimants. In case the Appeals filed by the Respondents are allowed, then there is no guarantee that the Respondents would be in a position to recover the amount. Learned counsel Shri. Choudhari submits that consequent to the order passed by this Court, entire amount of compensation under the award, is deposited by the Respondents in the trial Court. 5. We have considered the material placed before us and the submissions advanced. In the ca7349.11 20 facts of the case and considering the material placed before us, we pass following Order: (A) The Applicants are permitted to withdraw 50% amount out of the amount awarded by the trial Court without furnishing any security.
