The Reference Court, Bharuch has awarded additional<br \/>\n\tamount of compensation in favour of respondent claimants and granted<br \/>\n\tmarket value at the rate of Rs. 1072\/- per ARE together with market<br \/>\n\tprice rise.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tadvocate Ms. Mandavia submitted that Reference Court has committed<br \/>\n\tgross error in considering previous award exh 14\/1 because land<br \/>\n\tbelonging to Valiya and in present case Siludi are too different not<br \/>\n\thaving adjoining to each other and Valiya is taluka place and Siludi<br \/>\n\tvillage is far away from taluka headquarter, Valiya and situated on<br \/>\n\textreme Western boundary of village.  After leaving village Nandhan,<br \/>\n\tDungari and Voida villages are situated there. She submitted that<br \/>\n\tReference Court has committed gross error in awarding amount being<br \/>\n\tadditional compensation in favour of respondent claimants i.e. Rs.<br \/>\n\t1072\/- per ARE.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\thave considered submission made by learned advocate Ms. Madavia and<br \/>\n\tI have also perused award passed by Reference Court. Learned<br \/>\n\tadvocate Ms. Mandavia prayed from page 25 where Reference Court has<br \/>\n\treferred that instant group of land reference cases, on behalf of<br \/>\n\tclaimants, reliance is placed on previous award, passed in group of<br \/>\n\tL.A.R. Case no. 1057\/2002 to 1067\/2002, which copy is placed at mark<br \/>\n\t14\/1 being previous award.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter,<br \/>\n\tshe pointed out that both villages are not situated adjoining and<br \/>\n\tlands are not similar having potentiality and fertility.  Therefore,<br \/>\n\tboth lands are not comparable to each other and assessment made by<br \/>\n\tReference Court is wrong and contrary to law which is required to be<br \/>\n\tinterference. After considering aforesaid statement made by learned<br \/>\n\tadvocate Ms. Mandavia, Shiludi is near to village Valiya, for that,<br \/>\n\tthere is no dispute.  The relevant observations made by Reference<br \/>\n\tCourt in para 25 to 32 are quoted as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t?S25.\tIn the case<br \/>\n\tof second additional Special Land Acquisition Officer and others v\/s<br \/>\n\tChunilal Gangaram and others 1999 (2) G.L.R.

Krishnamurty, A.I.R. 1984 Orissa, the case of officer<br \/>\n\ton special duty (land acquisition) G.I.D.C., Amdavad Vs. Jamkuben<br \/>\n\tKalidas Sodha (1992(1) G.L.H., 417 and the case of 2nd<br \/>\n\tAddl. Special Land Acquisition Officer &amp; others V\/s Chunilal<br \/>\n\tGangaram &amp; others (1999 (2) G.L.R., page 1357.  It is settled<br \/>\n\tposition of law that if, in that case, amount of compensation can be<br \/>\n\tawarded on the basis of the previous award.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\tIn the instant<br \/>\n\t\tgroup of land reference cases, on behalf of the claimants, the<br \/>\n\t\treliance is placed on previous award, passed in the group of L.A.R.<br \/>\n\t\tCase no. 1057\/02 to 1067\/02, the copy of which, is placed at mark<br \/>\n\t\t14\/1.  Mark 14\/1 is the copy of the previous award, in respect of<br \/>\n\t\tthe claimants&#8217; land of the revenue boundary of village Valiya.  No<br \/>\n\t\tdoubt, considering the geographical map of Taluka Valiya, the<br \/>\n\t\trevenue boundary of Valiya, village Siludi is in Valiya Taluka, but<br \/>\n\t\tit is on extreme Western boundary of Valiya Taluka.  Though, it is<br \/>\n\t\tsettled position of law that in the absence of the sale instances,<br \/>\n\t\tthe previous award in respect of the land, under acquisition of the<br \/>\n\t\tsame village or adjoining village can be considered.  If, the land,<br \/>\n\t\tunder acquisition in the case on hand, and the land of the previous<br \/>\n\t\taward are comparable in respect of its geographical condition,<br \/>\n\t\tfertility and other aspect, having bearing on valuation of either<br \/>\n\t\tagricultural produce or lended property.  Therefore, under normal<br \/>\n\t\tcircumstances, if the revenue boundary of Valiya, and the land of<br \/>\n\t\tthe previous award, in respect of the claimant&#8217;s land of the<br \/>\n\t\trevenue boundary of village Valiya would have been proved to be<br \/>\n\t\tcomparable with the claimants&#8217; land of present group of land<br \/>\n\t\treference cases, the market value of the present claimants&#8217; land<br \/>\n\t\twould have been assessed at par with that of the claimants&#8217; land of<br \/>\n\t\tthe revenue boundary of village Valiya.  But here it is pertinent<br \/>\n\t\tto note that village Valiya is a Taluka Head quarters.  Whereas,<br \/>\n\t\tvillage Siludi is far away from Taluka, after leaving village<br \/>\n\t\tNardhari, Dungari and Voda.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t27.\tAs stated<br \/>\n\t\thereinbefore that village Valiya is the Taluka Head Quarters.<br \/>\n\t\tWhereas, village Siludi is a small village, situated at the extreme<br \/>\n\t\t Western boundary of Valiya Taluka, far away from the Head<br \/>\n\t\tQuarters, and a judicial notice can be taken that Valiya being a<br \/>\n\t\tTaluka Head Quarters, having some inherent facility, in respect of<br \/>\n\t\tthe marketing and transport etc. Therefore, even, if, productivity<br \/>\n\t\twise, the land of the Taluka Head Quarters are at par with that of<br \/>\n\t\tagricultural land of an interior village i.e. Siludi in the instant<br \/>\n\t\tcase, and the farmers of the interior village Siludi, are getting<br \/>\n\t\tsame quantity per acre agricultural produce, as well as<br \/>\n\t\tagricultural land is reasonably lower than the market price of the<br \/>\n\t\tagricultural produce, and the agricultural land of Taluka Head<br \/>\n\t\tQuarters Valiya.  Under the aforesaid circumstances, though,<br \/>\n\t\tvillage Siludi is in Valiya Taluka itself but the market price of<br \/>\n\t\tthe agricultural land of village Siludi cannot be assessed at par<br \/>\n\t\twith that of the agricultural land of Taluka Head Quarters Valiya.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t28.\tNo doubt, in<br \/>\n\t\tthe instant group of land reference cases, on behalf of the<br \/>\n\t\tclaimants, the reliance has been placed on the previous award, mark<br \/>\n\t\t14\/1, passed in the group of land reference case No. 1057\/02 to<br \/>\n\t\t1067\/02, passed by the learned Joint District Judge, and Presiding<br \/>\n\t\tOfficer, 4th F.T.C., Bharuch. Wherein, the learned Jt.<br \/>\n\t\tDistrict Judge, and Presiding Officer, 4th F.T.C.,<br \/>\n\t\tBharuch was pleased to assess the market value of the claimants&#8217;<br \/>\n\t\tland, situated in the revenue boundary of village Valiya, at the<br \/>\n\t\trate of Rs. 1820\/- per ARE. But, as under section 23 of the ?Ssaid<br \/>\n\t\tAct??, the compensation has to be assessed on the date of<br \/>\n\t\tpublication of notification, under section 4 of the said Act.  The<br \/>\n\t\tdate of issuance of the notification, under section 4 of the said<br \/>\n\t\tAct is material, for assessing the compensation.  In the previous<br \/>\n\t\taward, passed by the learned Jt. District Judge, and Presiding<br \/>\n\t\tOfficer, 4th F.T.C., Bharuch in L.A.R. Case no. 1057\/02<br \/>\n\t\tto 1067\/02 (mark 14\/1).  The notification, under section 4 of the<br \/>\n\t\t?Ssaid Act??, was published on 26\/7\/90.  Whereas, the<br \/>\n\t\tnotification, under section 4 of the ?Ssaid Act&#8217;, for acquiring<br \/>\n\t\tthe present claimants&#8217; land has been published in the Govt. gazette<br \/>\n\t\ton 6\/10\/1988 i.e. 1-year-9-months &amp; 20 days i.e. about 21.5<br \/>\n\t\tmonths earlier than the publication of notification, under section<br \/>\n\t\t4 of the ?Ssaid Act?? of the claimants&#8217; land of L.A.R. Case no.<br \/>\n\t\t1057\/02 to 1067\/02 (mark 14\/1).  Therefore, in the considered<br \/>\n\t\topinion of this Court, if, the market price rise value of the<br \/>\n\t\tpresent claimants&#8217; land is assessed at the rate of is considered at<br \/>\n\t\tthe 12% p.a. (inconformity with Section 23(1-A) of the ?Ssaid<br \/>\n\t\tAct??) less than the assessed the market value of the claimant&#8217;s<br \/>\n\t\tland of the L.A.R. Case no. 1057\/02 to 1057\/02, the end of the<br \/>\n\t\tjustice will be served.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t29.\tAs the market<br \/>\n\t\tvalue of the claimants&#8217; land of L.A.R. Case No. 1057\/02 to 1067\/02<br \/>\n\t\t(mark 14\/1) has been assessed at Rs. 1820\/- per ARE, on the date of<br \/>\n\t\tpublication of the notification, under section 4 of the ?Ssaid<br \/>\n\t\tAct?? i.e. on 26\/7\/90 as the notification, under section 4 of the<br \/>\n\t\t?Ssaid Act??, for acquiring the present claimants&#8217; land has been<br \/>\n\t\tpublished on 6\/10\/88 i.e. about 21.5 months earlier than the<br \/>\n\t\tpublication of the notification, under section 4 of the said Act,<br \/>\n\t\tfor acquiring the claimants&#8217; land of mark 14\/1, 78.5% of Rs. 1820\/-<br \/>\n\t\tcomes to Rs. 1428=70 ps. i.e. Rs. 1429\/- per ARE on the date of<br \/>\n\t\tpublication of notification, under section 4 of the ?Ssaid Act.??\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t30.\tFurther, as<br \/>\n\t\tstated hereinbeofre that village Siludi is far away from Taluka<br \/>\n\t\tHead Quarters Valiya, and is situated on the extreme Western<br \/>\n\t\tboundary of village Valiya Taluka, after leaving village Nardhari,<br \/>\n\t\tDungari and Voda, and it is a small village.  In the considered<br \/>\n\t\topinion of this Court, if the market value of the present<br \/>\n\t\tclaimants&#8217; land is assessed at 80% of the assessed market value of<br \/>\n\t\tthe claimants&#8217; land of mark 14\/1, the end of the justice will be<br \/>\n\t\tserved.  As on the basis of the previous award mark 14\/1, in<br \/>\n\t\trespect of the claimants&#8217; land of revenue boundary of village<br \/>\n\t\tValiya, the market value of the present claimants&#8217; land on the date<br \/>\n\t\tof publication of notification, under section 4 of the said Act has<br \/>\n\t\tbeen assessed at Rs. 1429\/- per ARE, 80% of Rs. 1429\/- comes to Rs.<br \/>\n\t\t1143=20 ps i.e. Rs. 1143\/- per ARE.  Therefore, the market price of<br \/>\n\t\tpresent claimants&#8217; land on the date of publication of notification,<br \/>\n\t\tunder section 4 of the ?Ssaid Act?? i.e. 6\/10\/88 has been<br \/>\n\t\tassessed at Rs. 1143\/- per ARE.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t31.\tAs stated<br \/>\n\t\thereinbefore the market value of the present claimants&#8217; land on the<br \/>\n\t\tbasis of the previous award mark 14\/1, having been assessed at Rs.<br \/>\n\t\t1143\/- per ARE, but the Spl. LAO having awarded only Rs. 71\/- per<br \/>\n\t\tARE, certainly, it can be said that the market price assessed by<br \/>\n\t\tthe Spl. LAO is unreasonably low.  In the result, I answer issue<br \/>\n\t\tno. 1 in the affirmative.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t32.\tAs the market<br \/>\n\t\tprice of the claimants&#8217; land on the date of publication of<br \/>\n\t\tnotification, under section 4 of the ?Ssaid act?? has been at Rs.<br \/>\n\t\t1143\/- per ARE but the Spl. LAO had awarded only Rs. 71\/- per ARE,<br \/>\n\t\tthe claimants are entitle to get additional market value at the<br \/>\n\t\trate of Rs. 1072\/- per ARE, hence, I answer issue no. 2<br \/>\n\t\taccordingly.??\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tview of reasoning given by Reference Court and considering<br \/>\n\tsubmissions made by learned advocate Ms. Mandavia, the Reference<br \/>\n\tCourt has rightly worked out difference and distance between village<br \/>\n\tShiludi and Valiya. However, Reference Court has also considered<br \/>\n\tprevious award at mark 14\/1 have been assessed at Rs. 1,143\/- per<br \/>\n\tARE but special land acquisition officer has awarded only Rs. 71 per<br \/>\n\tARE certainly in light of previous award, amount which has been<br \/>\n\tfixed by Special Land Acquisition officer is apparently<br \/>\n\tunreasonable.  Therefore, Reference Court has considered<br \/>\n\tnotification u\/s 4 and after considering previous award exh 14\/1 in<br \/>\n\trespect to claimants&#8217; land of revenue boundary of village Valiya,<br \/>\n\tmarket value of present claimants&#8217; land from date of publication of<br \/>\n\tnotification u\/s 4 of said Act has been assessed Rs. 1429\/- per ARE,<br \/>\n\tout of 80% of Rs. 1429\/- comes to Rs. 1143.20 ps per ARE. Therefore,<br \/>\n\tmarket price of present claimant&#8217;s land on date of publication of<br \/>\n\tnotification u\/s 4 of said Act on 6\/10\/1988 has been assessed at Rs.<br \/>\n\t1143\/- per ARE.  The difference is between notification in respect<br \/>\n\tto previous award and in respect to present case is also considered<br \/>\n\tby Reference Court in para 33, which is quoted as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t?S33.\tSection<br \/>\n\t23(1-A) of the Land Acquisition Act provides that:-\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t?SIn addition to<br \/>\n\t\tthe market value of the land as above stated, the Court shall in<br \/>\n\t\tevery case award an amount, calculated at the rate of 12% p.a. on<br \/>\n\t\tsuch market value for the period, commencing on and from the date<br \/>\n\t\tof the publication of the notification, under section 4(1) of the<br \/>\n\t\tLand Acquisition Act in respect of such land to the date of award<br \/>\n\t\tof the Collector or the date of taking the possession of the land<br \/>\n\t\twhichever is earlier.??\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tIn the instant<br \/>\n\t\t\tgroup of land reference cases, as neither party has placed any<br \/>\n\t\t\tevidence on record as to when the possession of the land, under<br \/>\n\t\t\tacquisition was taken from the claimants, under section 23(1-A) of<br \/>\n\t\t\tthe ?Ssaid Act??.  The claimants are entitle to get market price<br \/>\n\t\t\trise at the rate of 12% p.a. from the date of publication of<br \/>\n\t\t\tnotification, under Section 4 of the ?Ssaid Act?? i.e. 6\/10\/88<br \/>\n\t\t\ttill the date of award i.e. 21\/9\/89, for a period of 11-months and<br \/>\n\t\t\t15-days i.e. for a period of 11.5-moths.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tSection 23(2) of<br \/>\n\t\t\tthe Land Acquisition Act provides that :-\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t?SIn addition to<br \/>\n\t\t\tthe market value of the land as above, provided, the Court shall<br \/>\n\t\t\tin every case award a sum of 30% of such market value in<br \/>\n\t\t\tconsideration of the compulsory nature of acquisition.??\tTherefore,<br \/>\n\t\t\tthe claimants are entitle to get an additional 30% amount of<br \/>\n\t\t\tcompensation by way of solatium, as provided, under Section 23(2)<br \/>\n\t\t\tof the ?Ssaid Act.??\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tReference Court has considered that Section 4 notification is dated<br \/>\n\t6\/10\/1988 and section 4 notification in respect to previous award is<br \/>\n\t21\/9\/1989, only eleven months fifteen days difference are there i.e.<br \/>\n\thow Reference Court has calculated amount of Rs. 1072\/- market price<br \/>\n\trise has been fixed per ARE in respect to LAR no. 213\/1990 to<br \/>\n\t220\/1990.\n<\/p>\n<p>According<br \/>\n\tto my opinion, reasoning which has been given by Reference Court can<br \/>\n\tnot consider to be arbitrary or baseless and perverse.  On the<br \/>\n\tcontrary Reference Court has rightly analyzed market price of land<br \/>\n\tin question and rightly considered previous award passed by<br \/>\n\tReference Court, Bharuch, for that, according to my opinion,<br \/>\n\tReference Court has not committed any error which would require<br \/>\n\tinterference by this Court. Therefore, contention raised by learned<br \/>\n\tadvocate Ms. Mandavia can not be accepted hence, rejected.\n<\/p>\n<p>Hence,<br \/>\n\tthere is no substance in present appeal.
