APPA RAO A S NO. 1406 OF 1996 JUDGMENT : (Per Sri Justice V Eswaraiah) This appeal is filed by the Special Deputy Collector, Rehabilitation cum Land Acquisition Unit, S.R.S.P., Pochampad, questioning the order and decree dated 22.11.1994 passed in O.P. No. 166 of 1984. The land of the respondent/claimant situate in Kanjara village of Nirmal Taluq, Adilabad district was acquired for the purpose of submergence of 1093 contaur line of Pochampad Project pursuant to notification issued under Section 4 (1) and draft declaration under section 6 of the of the Land Acquisition Act dated 9.9.1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, passed an award dated 24.11.1976 fixing the compensation at the rate of Rs.3200/- per acre for double crop wet land, Rs.2310/- per acre for single crop wet land and Rs.732/- per acre for dry lands, separate compensation fixed for the trees standing in the acquired lands. On reference, the Reference Court by following Ex.B1/ order in O.P. No. 1192 of 1980 and batch dated 4.4.1981 passed common order dated 22.11.1994 enhancing the compensation for dry lands from Rs.732/- to Rs.2,950/- per acre; for single crop wet lands from Rs.2310/- to Rs.6,150/- per acre and for double crop wet lands from Rs.3200/- to Rs.9,150/- per acre together with solatium at 15 % on the enhanced amount of compensation and interest at the rate of 6 % per annum from the date of taking possession till the date of payment. A perusal of the order under appeal, would indicate that the Reference Court passed the order by following Ex.B1/- order in O P No. 1192 of 1980 and batch arising out of the very same notification dated 9.9.1971 and the lands relating to very same village. The learned Government Pleader for Appeals is unable to assist the Court and inform as to whether any appeals were filed against the said batch of O.Ps disposed of vide order in Ex.B1 dated 4.4.1981 and if so, the result thereof. Be that as it may, having regard to the perusal of the material available on record, it cannot be said that the compensation granted by the Reference Court is excessive warranting any interference of this Court. We see no grounds to interfere with the order of the Reference Court dated 22.11.1984. It is needless to mention that the respondent/claimant is entitled to all the statutory benefits. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. No costs. _____________ V ESWARAIAH,J _____________ K.S. APPA RAO,J DATE:16.11.2011 TVK
