The notification under sec. 4 of the Act was<br \/>\npublished on 4.3.2004, whereas, the notification under sec. 6 of the<br \/>\nAct was published on 27.5.2004.  The award was passed on 15.1.2005 by<br \/>\nthe Special Land Acquisition Officer and the compensation was<br \/>\nawarded. However, the said compensation was not satisfactorily to the<br \/>\noriginal land owners,  raised dispute under sec. 18 of the Act, which<br \/>\ncame to be referred to the Reference Court for adjudication. The<br \/>\nReference Court, after hearing both the sides, awarded the<br \/>\ncompensation at Rs. 35\/- per sq. mtrs. plus statutory benefits of<br \/>\nsolatium and increase of price as per Section 23(1-A) of the Act and<br \/>\nthe interest as per the statutory requirement. It is under these<br \/>\ncircumstances, the present appeals before this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tWe<br \/>\nhave heard learned AGP Ms Moxa Thakkar for the appellants and Mr.<br \/>\nV.N. Raval learned advocate for the original claimants.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tIt<br \/>\nis undisputed position that village Bhorva at which lands were<br \/>\nsituated, is adjacent to village Adalwada. The lands were also<br \/>\nacquired for the very project at village Adalwada and for the said<br \/>\nlands also, the dispute was raised for compensation and the matters<br \/>\ncarried up to this Court in the proceedings of First Appeal No.<br \/>\n2168\/2010 and allied matters, which came to be decided by this Court<br \/>\n(Coram: Jayant Patel &amp; Ms. Abhilasha Kumari, JJ) on 2.8.2010 and<br \/>\nas per the said decision, the compensation at Rs. 35\/- per sq. meter<br \/>\nis confirmed by this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tWe<br \/>\nmay state that this Court in the above referred decision of First<br \/>\nAppeal No. 2168\/2010 and allied matters, inter alia, observed that:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;4.\tThe<br \/>\nonly contention raised on behalf of the Special Land Acquisition<br \/>\nOfficer by the learned Assistant Government Pleader is that the<br \/>\nReference Court ought not to have relied upon the decision of other<br \/>\nReference Court for acquisition of the land of Jalod taluka. He<br \/>\nsubmitted that unless evidence was there on record to show that the<br \/>\npresent lands were just adjacent to the land of Reference Case No.<br \/>\n254 of 2004, in respect to the lands of Jalod Taluka, the reliance<br \/>\nplaced is erroneous,therefore, it would be a case for remand of the<br \/>\nmatter to the Reference Court for re-consideration.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tThe<br \/>\nexamination of the said contention shows that it is not the only<br \/>\nmatter where the Reference Court has not at all considered the other<br \/>\naspects. In order to assess the valuation of the land,broadly, three<br \/>\nmodes or the yardsticks are settled. One is of the sale instances,<br \/>\nthe another is, if any award or compensation is fixed by the<br \/>\ncompetent Court in respect to the similar land or adjacent land and<br \/>\nthe third is yield method. On the aspect of the sale instances, the<br \/>\nReference Court has considered, but the said aspect is not given<br \/>\nweightage on the ground that there was no evidence which led to the<br \/>\neffect that there was voluntary sale and voluntary purchase and\/or<br \/>\nfertility of the land for which, the sale instances were shown. The<br \/>\nsale deeds were also not produced. On the aspect of yield method, the<br \/>\nclaim was of Rs.1,00,000\/- per acre and the evidence, as was led on<br \/>\nbehalf of the claimants, was to the effect that the annual<br \/>\nagricultural income from the land was Rs.1,00,00\/- per acre per year.<br \/>\nLearned Judge, while appreciating the evidence,has not fully relied<br \/>\nupon the said aspects and has assessed yearly income of approximately<br \/>\nRs.30,000\/- per acre. Out of the said amount, 50% is deducted towards<br \/>\nexpenses of the agriculture and net income assessed is Rs.15,000\/-<br \/>\nper acre.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tThe<br \/>\nformula applied for capitalist value is 10<br \/>\ntimes of the annual income,therefore, the learned Judge has found<br \/>\nthat the market value would be considered as Rs.1,50,000\/- per acre.<br \/>\nIf the said finding of the learned Judge is considered per sq.meter,<br \/>\nthe value of the land would be Rs.40 per sq.meter. It is in addition<br \/>\nto the aforesaid finding, the learned Judge has relied upon the order<br \/>\nof the Reference Court in Reference Case No. 254 of 2004 in respect<br \/>\nto the other agricultural land of Jalod Taluka, wherein the<br \/>\nadditional compensation awarded was Rs.35\/-. The pertinent aspect is<br \/>\nthat, as stated by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, the said<br \/>\ndecision of the Reference Court in Reference Case No.254 of 2004 has<br \/>\nbeen confirmed by this Court<br \/>\nin First Appeal No. 4073 of 2007 and allied<br \/>\nmatters vide order dated 17.8.2007. Another<br \/>\naspect which is required to be taken note of is that the Notification<br \/>\nunder Section 4 of the Act in that case  was published on 22.1.2001<br \/>\nand the additional compensation awarded was Rs.35 per sq.meter. If<br \/>\nthe appreciation, at the rate of 10% per annum, is considered from<br \/>\nthe date of the Notification under Section 4 of the Act, in that case<br \/>\n and the date of the Notification under Section 4 of the Act in the<br \/>\npresent case, it would be approximately 30% more since there is a gap<br \/>\nof about 3 years in between. In spite of the same, the learned Judge<br \/>\nhas not considered the appreciated value and has taken the base as<br \/>\nwas granted<br \/>\non the basis of the valuation assessed in<br \/>\nthe year 2001 at Rs.35\/- per sq.meter. Under these circumstances, we<br \/>\nfind that the contention that unless the land of Taluka Jalod, which<br \/>\nwas subject matter of Reference Case No.254 of 2004 was adjacent to<br \/>\nthe land in question,the Reference Court could not have relied upon<br \/>\nthe decision of the earlier award passed in respect to the land of<br \/>\nTaluka Jalod, which would not only lose its importance but<br \/>\nconsidering the case in either way, may be on the basis of the yield<br \/>\nmethod or may be on the basis of the compensation fixed for similar<br \/>\nland,it is not possible to accept the contention that the additional<br \/>\ncompensation awarded can be said to be unfair or improper.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tFor<br \/>\nthe reasons recorded by the reference Court is considered in light of<br \/>\nthe aforesaid observations made by this Court for acquisition of the<br \/>\nlands at village Adalwada, it is not possible for us to take a<br \/>\ndifferent view.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tThe<br \/>\nattempt was made by the learned AGP for the appellant to contend that<br \/>\nthere was distance of about 60 kilometers from the land which was<br \/>\ncovered in Land Reference Case No. 254 of 2004, pertaining to Jhalod<br \/>\nTaluka, which is considered as a basis by the Reference Court in the<br \/>\npresent matter.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\tWe<br \/>\nmay record that the similar contention came to be raised by the<br \/>\nlearned AGP in respect of the acquisition of lands for the same<br \/>\nproject at village Nalu  in the proceedings of First Appeal No.<br \/>\n5244\/2010 and allied matters, decided on 25.2.2011. It may be<br \/>\nrecorded that village Nalu is on the otherside of village Adalwada<br \/>\nand in the said group of First Appeal No. 5244\/2010, while dealing<br \/>\nwith the said contention, this Court observed, thus:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;9.We<br \/>\nare araid such can be considered in view of the aforesaid decision of<br \/>\nthis Court. Same fact situation prevailed in the earlier matter of<br \/>\nFirst Appeal No. 2168 of 2010 and even though there was distance of<br \/>\nabout 60 kilometers from the land covered by Reference case No. 254<br \/>\nof 2004, this Court accepted the compensation for the land of village<br \/>\nAdalwada having found that no error has been committed by the<br \/>\nReference Court. On the contrary, if the appreciation is to be<br \/>\nconsidered as it is, as observed in the above referred judgment and<br \/>\nreproduced hereinabove, it could be 30% more in comparison to the<br \/>\nland located at Taluka Jhalod, whereas,<br \/>\nsuch appreciation was not given by the Reference Court in the said<br \/>\nmatter for the land at village Adalwada and such has also not been<br \/>\ngiven in the present matter. Therefore, even if that aspect is<br \/>\nconsidered, it would not lead us to take a different view than the<br \/>\nview taken in First Appeal No. 2168 of 2010 and allied matters.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tThe<br \/>\nsame view deserves to be taken in the present matters. It appears<br \/>\nthat the reference Court has<br \/>\nawarded compensation of Rs. 35\/- per sq. meter at par<br \/>\nwith the view taken by this Court and, therefore, all the appeals are<br \/>\nmeritless and, therefore, dismissed. Considering the facts and<br \/>\ncircumstances of the case, there shall be no order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.\tIn<br \/>\nview of the order passed in the main First Appeal, Civil Application<br \/>\nNo. 3120 of 2011 would not survive and shall stands disposed of<br \/>\naccordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p>(JAYANT<br \/>\nPATEL, J.)<\/p>\n<p>(Ms.\n<\/p>\n<p>B.M.
