BRITTO, J. DATE : 14th OCTOBER, 2010 JUDGMENT : Heard. 2. This appeal arises from the judgment dated 8/01/2004 of the learned Reference Court in Land Acquisition Case No.456/95, by which compensation payable has been enhanced from `4/- to `18/- per square metre in respect of Survey No.87/4 of Loliem village, 2 which was acquired by notification published on Gazette dated 27/06/1991. The land was acquired for the construction of new broad gauge line for Konkan Railway. 3. In First Appeal No.42/2005 in the case of Smt. Shrimati Vishwanath Acharya (since deceased by her legal representative) Madhav Vishwanath Acharya V/s. Special Land Acquisition Officer & Anr., by judgment dated 6/10/2010, this Court was pleased to enhance the compensation payable from `4/- per square metre to `21/- per square metre. 4. There are no cross objections filed by the respondents in this appeal. 5. The Apex Court in several cases including the case of M/s. Printers House Pvt. Ltd. V/s. Mst. Saiyadan (deceased) by LR's & Ors. (1994 SC 1160), has held that: “If 'Comparable Sales Method of Valuation of land' is adopted for determining the market-value of an acquired plot of land, it generally holds good for determination of the market-value of several acquired plots of land if the acquisition of all such plots of land is made pursuant to the same preliminary Notification.” 6. If the land in the same village covered by the same 3 notification has been awarded compensation at the rate of `21/- per square metre, as given by this Court in First Appeal No.42/2005 by judgment dated 6/10/2010, I find that nothing survives in this appeal and, accordingly, the same is hereby dismissed with no order as to costs.
