HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY A.S.No.1857 OF 1999 Dated: 22-03-2010 Between: The Land Acquisition Officer, Mandal Revenue Officer, Shankarpally Mandal, R.R.District. Appellant AND Smt. Dandu Ramamma & Another. Respondents. This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY A.S.No.1857 OF 1999 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy) This appeal is preferred by the Land Acquisition Officer under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 questioning the enhancement of compensation made by the Subordinate Judge, Vikarabad, R.R.District in O.P.No.39 of 1993, dated 12.02.1996. The value of the appeal itself is Rs.9,250/-. Having regard to involvement of trivial and insignificant amount, this appeal, in our considered opinion, ought not to have been preferred by the State. Even otherwise, it can be seen from the record that the claimants in their evidence as P.Ws.1 and 2 stated that they used to get income of Rs.5,000/- per acre by raising cash crops such as onion, chilly, tamato etc. from the acquired land. They also filed Ex.A.1-sale deed, wherein Ac.0.20 gts. of land situated in Alamkhanguda Village was sold for Rs.22,500/-, and that the purchaser under Ex.A.1 was examined as P.W.3 to prove the sale transaction covered by Ex.A.1. It is the evidence of claimants that the land covered by Ex.A.1 is similar in potentiality with that of the acquired land and similar crops were raised. Therefore, basing on Ex.A.1-sale deed, the reference Court enhanced the market value of the acquired land from Rs.10,000/- to Rs.15,000/- per acre, which, in all probability, reflect the true market value as on the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the appeal shall stand dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ A. GOPAL REDDY, J. __________________ MARCH 22, 2010 G.V. SEETHAPATHY, J. Tsr.
