The same was followed by notification dated 11.11.1985, issued under Section 6 of the Act. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed compensation of the acquired land at different rates. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the land owners filed objections. The learned court below dismissed the references filed under Section 18 of the Act and upheld the award of the Collector. It is this award of the court below which is impugned in the present set of appeals.
