The State is in appeal challenging the award of the learned court below assessing the compensation for the acquired land @ ` 2,70,000/- per acre for Barani land and ` 2,40,000/- per acre for Bhood land. The notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was issued on 28.7.2003 seeking to acquire 70 kanals and 5 marlas of land for construction of Dhana Minor. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') had announced the award on 27.5.2005.
