1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH AT NAGPUR. FIRST APPEAL NO.876 OF 2008. V.I.D.C. Through Ex-Engineer, Akola. .vs.. Manik Namdeo Mahalle and other. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or Court's or Judge's Orders directions and Registrar's orders. Coram: C.L.PANGARKAR, J. Dated : 30th September, 2008. 1. Heard learned counsel for the appellant. 2. This appeal has been preferred against the award passed by the reference court whereby the reference court has increased the compensation payable to the respondent from Rs.20,000/- to Rs.61000/-. The compensation is in respect of a house located in gaothan. 3. Learned counsel for the appellant contended that there is three-fold increase in the 2 compensation awarded by the reference court and it can be said to be exorbitant. 4. After having gone through the judgment, it appears to me that the respondent had examined Valuer who had submitted his report and who is a Civil Engineer. On the other hand, the present appellant did not place any report of the Valuer of the Public Works Department or any other department. In view of this, there is no evidence rebuttal to the evidence tendered by the respondent. It is not disputed that house that is acquired is around 550 sq. ft. in area. The amount of compensation awarded by the reference court does not appear to me to be excessive at all. In view of this, there is no substance in the appeal. It is dismissed in limine. JUDGE. pzc 3
