THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY A.S.No.2767 of 1999 JUDGMENT (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A. Gopal Reddy): This appeal has been preferred by the Land Acquisition Officer and Mandal Revenue Officer, Kakinada against the order dated 06.08.1999, passed by the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Kakinada in O.P.No.54 of 1991. An extent of Acs.3.12 cents of land belonging to the respondents/claimants situated at Suryaraopet, Kakinada was acquired for the purpose of colonies for Backward Class families of Suryaraopet, by issuing a draft notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 and publishing the same in Gazette on 05.02.1977. The Land Acquisition Officer, after conducting due enquiry, passed an award fixing the compensation of the acquired land at Rs.20,000/- per acre. On reference, the reference Court enhanced the market value of the acquired land to Rs.21,000/- per acre. Hence, this appeal. The value of this appeal is Rs.3,120/-. Having regard to the trivial nature of the amount involved, we are not inclined to entertain the appeal and adjudicate the same on merits. The appeal shall accordingly stand dismissed. This Judgment, however, shall not operate as precedent for the purpose of determining the compensation in respect of other lands, if any, acquired even in the same village and shall not have any binding precedent value. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J _________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Date: 13.04.2010 va
