THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE K.S. APPA RAO L.A.A.S. No. 426 of 2008 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice N.V. Ramana) The Singareni Collieries Company Limited, represented by its General Manager, Ramagundam Area-II, Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District, preferred the present appeal against the order and decree dated 29.12.2006 passed in O.P. No. 64 of 2004 by the Senior Civil Judge (FAC), Peddapalli, Karimnagar District, modifying the award passed by the Land Acquisition Officer, in respect of the properties acquired from the claimants, by enhancing the market value of the acquired dry lands from Rs. 12,000/- to Rs. 36,000/- per acre, the market value of the dry-cum-wet lands from Rs. 18,000/- to Rs. 54,000/- per acre, and doubling the compensation awarded in respect of the acquired structures, wells and trees. Today, when the appeal is taken up for hearing, learned counsel for the appellant submitted that instead of the compensation as enhanced by the reference court, the appellant will pay Rs.30,000/- per acre for the acquired dry lands and Rs. 43,000/- per acre for dry- cum-wet lands, and the compensation in respect thereof may accordingly be reduced. So far as the structures, wells and trees are concerned, learned counsel for the appellant submitted that 75% over and above the compensation awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer in respect thereof, will be paid. Learned counsel for the respondents- claimants agreed for the same. In view of the above, as agreed by both the counsel, the appeal is partly allowed, by reducing the market value of the acquired dry lands from Rs. 36,000/- to Rs. 30,000/- per acre, and the market value of the dry-cum-wet lands from Rs. 54,000/- to Rs. 43,000/- per acre. The appellant shall pay 75% over and above the compensation awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer in respect of the acquired structures, wells and trees. Except this modification, the order under appeal passed by the reference Court shall stand confirmed in other respects. No order as to costs. _____________ N.V. RAMANA, J. ______________ K.S.
