The same was followed by notification dated 16.11.1998, issued under Section 6 of the Act. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed the market value of the land of different villages at different rates. The land owner feeling dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded by the Collector, filed objections.
