After<br \/>\nfollowing procedure the Land Acquisition Officer  awarded<br \/>\ncompensation at the rate of Rs.1.25. Feeling aggrieved by the said<br \/>\ndecision the claimants filed references before the learned Extra<br \/>\nAssistant Assistant Judge, Mehsana by filing Land  Acquisition<br \/>\nReference No.948 of 1997 wherein the learned Judge has granted<br \/>\nadditional amount of Rs.2.95 per square meter over and above Rs.1.25<br \/>\nawarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. It is against the said award<br \/>\nthe present appeals have been filed.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tLearned<br \/>\nAdvocate for the appellant submitted that the issue involved in these<br \/>\nappeals is squarely covered by the ratio laid down in the case of Oil<br \/>\n&amp; Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. Vs. Sankarji Hemaji &amp; Anr<br \/>\nreported in [2008] 17 GHJ (523). The operative part of the said<br \/>\nJudgement reads as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 41.\tSimilarly,<br \/>\nevent he conduct and the action of the then Special Land Acquisition<br \/>\nOfficer, who has referred the references applications in more than<br \/>\n100 cases to the reference court, though the applications for<br \/>\nreference were filed after a period of more than 20 years, is also<br \/>\nrequired to be considered seriously at the hands of Government. Under<br \/>\nthe circumstances, Chief Secretary, Revenue Department is directed to<br \/>\nhold necessary inquiry against the concerned Special Land Acquisition<br \/>\nOfficer with regard to his conduct and actions. Registry is directed<br \/>\nto communicate this order to the Chief Secretary, Revenue Department,<br \/>\nState of Gujarat for compliance.\n<\/p>\n<p>42.\tFor<br \/>\nthe reasons stated hereinabove,all the appeals succeed and are<br \/>\nallowed with costs which is quantified at Rs.5000\/- (Rupees Five<br \/>\nThousand only) per each appeal. The impugned common judgement and<br \/>\naward dated 15.10.2005 passed by the learned Principal Senior Civil<br \/>\nJudge, Mehsana (Mr. J.R. Shah) inland Reference Case Nos.3780 to 3784<br \/>\nof 2003 is hereby quashed and set aside and it is held that:\n<\/p>\n<p>[i]\tThe<br \/>\nreference applications submitted by the original claimants were not<br \/>\nmaintainable.\n<\/p>\n<p>[ii]\tThe<br \/>\nreference applications were required to be dismissed on the ground of<br \/>\nlimitation considering Article 137 of the Limitation Act.In the<br \/>\nalternate, the same were required to be dismissed on the ground of<br \/>\ndelay and laches.\n<\/p>\n<p>[iii]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to decide any other question<br \/>\nexcept the difference as to sufficiency of compensation in a<br \/>\nreference under sec.35(3) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>[iv]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to decide any other question<br \/>\nexcept the difference as to sufficiency of compensation in a<br \/>\nreference under section 35(3) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>[v]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to declare acquisition<br \/>\nproceedings and the award declared by the Special Land Acquisition<br \/>\nOfficer under sec.35(3) of the Act as illegal and\/or non-est in a<br \/>\nreference under section 35(3) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>[vi]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to declare possession of the<br \/>\nacquiring body as illegal and\/or unauthorized and consequently the<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to declare the ONGC-acquiring<br \/>\nbody as trespasser that too without framing any issue.\n<\/p>\n<p>[vii]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction toward compensation by way of<br \/>\nmesne profit declaring compensation of the acquiring body as illegal<br \/>\nand unauthorized.\n<\/p>\n<p>[viii]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has also no jurisdiction to award statutory benefits<br \/>\nand or interest, as awarded by the reference court, as if the<br \/>\nacquisition proceedings is a permanent acquisition.\n<\/p>\n<p>[ix]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to determine the dispute with<br \/>\nregard to sufficiency of the compensation beyond the period of three<br \/>\nyears from the date of taking the possession.\n<\/p>\n<p>[x]\tThe<br \/>\nReference Court has no jurisdiction to restore the possession of the<br \/>\nland to the original owners while deciding the reference under<br \/>\nsec.35(3) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tAdmittedly<br \/>\nthe Reference Court has not considered the question of jurisdiction<br \/>\nand also the limitation and other questions as set out in the<br \/>\naforesaid judgement. In that view of the matter the Reference  Court<br \/>\nhas to reconsider the  issue in light of the  ratio laid down in the<br \/>\naforesaid judgement. This  proposition is not disputed by the learned<br \/>\nAdvocate for the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.<br \/>\nHowever, in view of the decision in the case  Patel Govindbhai Vs.<br \/>\nSpecial Land Acquisition officer, reported in 2006(2) GLR  1152, the<br \/>\ncontention that the  award of interest from the date on which the<br \/>\nannual rent became payable till the date of actual payment cannot be<br \/>\naccepted. In the said decision it is held that  the interest is<br \/>\npayable from the date on which the annual rent became payable till<br \/>\nthe date of actual payment.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tIn<br \/>\nthe case of  State of Maharashtra Vs. Maimuma Banu, reported in<br \/>\n(2003)7 SCC 448 it is held that on the facts of the case though<br \/>\nlandowners are not legally entitled, yet on equitable grounds<br \/>\ninterest at the rate of 6% was granted and that  provisions of<br \/>\nsections 17(3-A), 23(1-A), 28 and 34 are not applicable to rental<br \/>\ncompensation.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tAt<br \/>\nthis stage is is also required to be noted that in the case of Brij<br \/>\nBehari Vs. State of UP reported in AIR 1986 SC 1895 it was held that<br \/>\nwhen possession had been taken under section 35 of the Act it is not<br \/>\na case of acquisition under Part II thereof and that  in case of<br \/>\ntemporary occupation of land solatium is not payable. It is also<br \/>\nrequired to be noted that section 34 makes provision for the rate of<br \/>\ninterest payable in case of permanent acquisition, while sections 35,<br \/>\n36 &amp; 37 provide for the rate of interest payable in case of<br \/>\ntemporary acquisition. This has been clearly distinguished in the<br \/>\ncase of Patel Govindbhai Ambaram Vs. Special Land Acquisition Officer<br \/>\nand Anr. Reported in 2006(2) GLR 1152.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tIn<br \/>\nthe premises aforesaid, these appeals are allowed. The judgment and<br \/>\naward impugned in this appeal is  quashed and set aside. The matter<br \/>\nis  remanded to the Reference Court for fresh consideration in light<br \/>\nof the  judgments in the case of Oil &amp; Natural Gas Corporation<br \/>\nLtd,  State of Maharashtra, and in the case of Patel Govindbhai<br \/>\n(Supra).
