Nobody is present for the respondent, though served. This appeal is filed by the State challenging the order of the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Ratnagiri in Land Reference under the Land Acquisition Act at the instance of the respondent. 4 R. land from Ratnagiri was 2 2 2 acquired for road widening. The claimant was running a news paper shop in that area. The acquisition has resulted in loss of business. He, therefore, claimed enhancement of compensation. The Reference Court awarded him Rs.6,500/- on that count as compensation for the loss of business for six months. There is absolutely no illegality in granting such compensation and it is not at all excessive. There is, therefore, no merit in this appeal. It is dismissed. No order as to costs.
