THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY A.S.No.2834 of 1999 JUDGMENT (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A. Gopal Reddy): This appeal has been preferred by the Mandal Revenue Officer (Land Acquisition Officer), Mahanandi against the order dated 31.08.1999, passed by the Senior Civil Judge, Nandyal in O.P.No.56 of 1988. An extent of 6.72 cents of land, which includes one acre of land belonging to the respondent/claimant situated in Survey No.617/3B of Gopavaram Village, Mahanandi Mandal was acquired for providing house sites to scheduled caste, backward class and economically backward class people, by issuing a draft notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 and publishing the same in the District Gazette and Telugu & English Daily News papers on 06.02.1986. The Land Acquisition Officer, after conducting due enquiry, passed an award fixing the compensation of the acquired land at Rs.2,300/- per acre. On reference, the reference Court enhanced the market value of the acquired land to Rs.7,800/- per acre. Hence, this appeal. The value of this appeal is Rs.5,500/-. 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. __________________________ JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY ______________________ JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Date: 13.04.2010 va
