The Land Acquisition Collector vide award No.7 dated 15.10.2001 (for short “the Collector”) assessed the market value of the acquired land of different villages at different rates. The landowners feeling dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, filed reference under Section 18 of the Act. The learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land as under:- Sr. No. Village Nahari Barani Chahi (per acre in `) (per acre in `) (per acre in `) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RFA No.2180 of 2010 2 1.
