THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO Appeal Suit No. 1346 of 1998 Dated: 30-11-2010 Order: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Goda Raghuram) This appeal by the State is directed against the order and decree dated 31-7-1991 of the learned Senior Civil Judge, Adoni in O.P.No. 479 of 1977, being a reference at the instance of the respondents under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’). An extent of Ac. 8-34 cents in Sy.No.199 of Neruduppala village was acquired for foreshore submersion. A Notification under Section 4 (1) of the Act was published on 18-12-1975. Urgency was invoked and a draft declaration Under Section 6 of the Act was published on 11-3-1976. An award was eventually passed determining the market value of the land at Rs.2000/- per acre. The reference court referred to Ex.B1, a certified copy of the order in OP No. 40 of 1982 to determine the market value at Rs.3000/- per acre. Ex.B1, order in O.P.No. 40 of 1982 is concerned with the acquisition of land in Sy.No. 398. The court below held that the land involved in O.P.No. 40 of 1982 was at some distance from the land concerned in the present O.P. However, considering the totality of circumstances, the reference court enhanced the market value from Rs.2000/- to Rs.3000/-. Since the enhancement is very meager and marginal and the total value of the appeal itself is Rs.8,340/-, we see no grounds to interfere at this length of time, in this appeal. The appeal is therefore, dismissed. No costs. ___________________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J 30th November, 2010 _______________________________ N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO, J GRR
