No. 272 of 1991 has been filed by the land owners seeking<br \/>\nfurther enhancement of compensation for the acquired land.\n<\/p>\n<p>                R.F.A. No. 1447 of 1991 has been filed by the Land Acquisition<br \/>\nCollector seeking reduction of compensation awarded by the learned court below<br \/>\nto the land owners.\n<\/p>\n<p>                The facts have been noticed from R.F.A. No. 272 of 1991.<br \/>\n                Briefly, the facts are that land measuring 4 bighas, 2 biswas and 6<br \/>\nbiswansis, situated in Village Sekhewal, Tehsil and District Ludhiana          was<br \/>\nacquired vide notification dated 29.4.1987, issued under Section 4 of the Land<br \/>\nAcquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act&#8217;) for construction of 66 KVA Sub<br \/>\n R.F.A. No. 272 of 1991                                  [ 2]<\/p>\n<p>Station Noorwal for Punjab State Electricity Board.            The Land Acquisition<br \/>\nCollector (for short, `the Collector&#8217;) determined the market value of the acquired<br \/>\nland @ Rs. 49.17 per square yard. Aggrieved against the same, the land owners<br \/>\nfiled objections which were referred to District Judge, Ludhiana, who keeping in<br \/>\nview the material placed on record by the parties, determined the market value of<br \/>\nthe acquired land @ Rs. 100\/- per square yard.\n<\/p>\n<p>                Learned counsel for the land owners submitted that the learned<br \/>\nReference Court has totally failed to appreciate the location and potential of the<br \/>\nland in dispute which was situated within the limits of Municipal Corporation,<br \/>\nLudhiana located just 75 karams from Jalandhar bye-pass on National Highway<br \/>\nNo. 1. The area in the vicinity had already been developed. The land was abutting<br \/>\nthe metalled link road going to Village Kokowal. Octroi Post of the Corporation<br \/>\nwas one kilometer beyond the acquired land. There were other shops and factories<br \/>\nsituated nearby. The land had great future potential for being used as residential<br \/>\nand commercial purposes. The submission is that the value of the land dealt with<br \/>\nin sale deed (Ex. A2) way back in 1982 was Rs. 150\/- per square yard, whereas in<br \/>\nsale deeds (Ex. A5 and Ex. A6), the same was Rs. 201\/- per square yard and Rs.<br \/>\n198\/- per square yard respectively. In sale deed (Ex. A3), which was registered on<br \/>\n27.10.1986, a plot of 180 square yards was sold for a consideration of Rs. 4,000\/-,<br \/>\ni.e., Rs. 222\/- per square yard. Even in sale deed (Ex. A4), which was registered on<br \/>\n4.12.1986, nearly 5 months prior to the date of acquisition, the value of the land<br \/>\ndealt with therein was Rs. 162\/- per square yard. Relying upon the aforesaid sale<br \/>\ndeeds, the submission is that the land was within the municipal limits and the area<br \/>\nhad already been developed. Further the acquired land was also merely 4 bighas 2<br \/>\nbiswas and 6 biswansis, not a very big chunk of land, the sale deeds produced by<br \/>\nthe land owners should be relied upon as such without applying any cut thereon.\n<\/p>\n<p>                On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that the<br \/>\nlearned court below had awarded compensation much more than what was<br \/>\nrequired to be assessed. In fact, the sale deeds produced by the State showing the<br \/>\nvalue in the vicinity at Rs. 32\/- to Rs. 50\/- per square yard had not been considered<br \/>\nat all. If the same are considered, the value, as assessed by the learned court below,<br \/>\ndeserves to be decreased instead of increase therein. However, he could not<br \/>\ndispute the fact that none of the land pertaining to the aforesaid sale deeds<br \/>\nproduced by the State have been located on any of the site plans produced by them<br \/>\nto show the location and the value thereof vis-a-vis the acquired land.\n<\/p>\n<p>                Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the relevant<br \/>\nreferred record.\n<\/p>\n<p> R.F.A. No. 272 of 1991                                  [ 3]<\/p>\n<p>                As far as the acquired land is concerned, the location thereof is not<br \/>\ndisputed. As submitted by learned counsel for the land owners and also noticed by<br \/>\nthe learned court below, Ludhiana is a fast industrial developing city. The land in<br \/>\nquestion falls quite close to Jalandhar bye-pass on National Highway No.1. As is<br \/>\nevident from the site plan (Ex. A1) on record, the area in the vicinity was<br \/>\ndeveloped with residential and commercial establishments. It had great potential<br \/>\nfor being urbanised.\n<\/p>\n<p>                Now coming to the sale deeds produced by the parties, in my<br \/>\nopinion, sale deed (Ex. A2) cannot be considered at all as the same is pertaining to<br \/>\nthe year 1982. Similarly, sale deeds (Ex. A5 and Ex. A6) also have to be ignored as<br \/>\nthe same were registered more than a year after the date of acquisition. The land<br \/>\npertaining to sale deed (Ex. A3) is not located on the site plan produced by the<br \/>\nland owners. Similar is the position with regard to sale deeds (Ex. R1 to Ex. R3)<br \/>\nproduced by the State. Even the land pertaining thereto has also not been located<br \/>\non any site plan produced on record to show its value vis-a-vis the acquired land.<br \/>\nIn the end, we are left with only sale deed (Ex. A4) which is dated 4.12.1986,<br \/>\nwhereby a plot of 245-2\/3 square yards was sold @ Rs. 162\/- per square yard for a<br \/>\ntotal consideration of Rs. 40,000\/-. As is noticed by the learned Reference Court,<br \/>\nthe sale deed was not pertaining to the land only as there was super structure as<br \/>\nwell which consisted of a room and boundary wall. On that account, the learned<br \/>\ncourt below deducted a sum of Rs. 10,000\/- out of Rs. 40,000\/- and taking the<br \/>\nvalue of the plot of 245-2\/3 square yards at Rs. 30,000\/-, the value per square yard<br \/>\nwas determined at Rs. 122.50 per square yard and thereafter deducting another<br \/>\nsum of Rs. 22.50 therefrom, the value of the acquired land was determined at Rs.<br \/>\n100\/- per square yard. In my considered opinion, keeping in view the location, the<br \/>\nsale deeds produced even for the period after the acquisition showing regular<br \/>\nappreciation and estimate, deduction on account of construction in the plot and<br \/>\nalso the fact that in the area near the acquired land, houses and other commercial<br \/>\nestablishments were already existing and further even the Octroi Post of the<br \/>\nCorporation was located one kilometer away from the acquired land and National<br \/>\nHighway No.1 being only 75 karams therefrom, a cut of Rs. 22.50 would not be<br \/>\nreasonable as within the municipal limits, the land is always sold in small plots and<br \/>\neven the acquired land is also not very big piece of land.\n<\/p>\n<p>                Accordingly, in my opinion, a cut of Rs. 12.50 would be justifiable<br \/>\nas even no detail of construction available on the plot was pointed to assess its<br \/>\nvalue at Rs. 10,000\/-. The value of the acquired land is determined at Rs. 110\/- per<br \/>\nsquare yard.      The land owners shall also be entitled to all statutory benefits<br \/>\n R.F.A.
