Sheth learned advocate has waived service of Notice of Rule<br \/>\n\ton behalf of the respondent. With the consent of the learned<br \/>\n\tadvocates the appeals are taken up for hearing today.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tpresent appeals arise from the common judgment and award dated 24th<br \/>\n\tSeptember 2008 passed by the 12th Addition Senior Civil<br \/>\n\tJudge, Vadodara in the Land Reference Case Nos. 531 of 1998 to 541<br \/>\n\tof 1998 whereby the learned Reference Court has determined the<br \/>\n\tactual market price at Rs. 25\/- per sq. mtr. and has accordingly<br \/>\n\tawarded additional compensation. The Reference Court has also<br \/>\n\tawarded the consequential benefits like 12% increase on market value<br \/>\n\tfrom the date of notification under Section 4 of the Act and<br \/>\n\tproportionate increase in solatium.\n<\/p>\n<p>Certain<br \/>\n\tparcels of lands situate in village Malu were required for the<br \/>\n\tpurpose of construction of Canal under Narmada Canals Project. The<br \/>\n\tnotification under Section 4 for the said purpose was published on<br \/>\n\t29th November 1995 which was followed by notification<br \/>\n\tunder Section 6 published on 8th August 1996. After<br \/>\n\tfollowing the procedure the lands were acquired. The Land<br \/>\n\tAcquisition Officer conducted the proceedings for determining the<br \/>\n\tcompensation under Case No. 126 of 1994 and on 20th June<br \/>\n\t1997 passed award under Section 11 of the Act. The claimants-land<br \/>\n\towners were aggrieved by the said award which granted Rs. 4\/- per<br \/>\n\tsq. mtr. for non-irrigated lands and Rs. 6\/- per sq. mtr. for<br \/>\n\tirrigated lands. Hence, the claimant demanded reference under<br \/>\n\tSection 18 of the Act. The competent authority passed orders which<br \/>\n\tculminated in the aforesaid reference cases. The claimants filed<br \/>\n\tstatement of justification and demanded compensation @ Rs. 30 per<br \/>\n\tsq. mtr. Upon conclusion of the proceedings and after taking into<br \/>\n\tconsideration the submissions of the contesting parties the learned<br \/>\n\tReference Court passed the impugned award determining the market<br \/>\n\tprice @ Rs. 25\/- per sq. mtr. and enhanced\/ awarded compensation on<br \/>\n\tthat basis. The learned Reference Court, relied upon the earlier<br \/>\n\taward passed in Land Reference Case Nos. 2758 of 1996 to 2766 of<br \/>\n\t1996. Copy of the said award was produced on record by the claimants<br \/>\n\tat Exhibit 45. The Reference Court, in the said earlier cases, had<br \/>\n\tawarded additional compensation @ Rs. 20\/- per sq. mtr.\n<\/p>\n<p>It<br \/>\n\temerges from the record that the said earlier award was passed in<br \/>\n\trespect of the acquisition of lands in adjoining village Hareshwar,<br \/>\n\tTaluka Shankheda. The said earlier award was passed by the learned<br \/>\n\tReference Court in respect of Case No. 98 of 1992 (which,<br \/>\n\tsubsequently culminated in Reference Case No. 2758 to 2766 of 1996,<br \/>\n\tafter the competent authority referred the claim to the Court)<br \/>\n\twherein the notification under Section 4 was issued on 6th<br \/>\n\tMay 1993. By the award under Section 11 of the Act, the Land<br \/>\n\tAcquisition Officer had awarded compensation @ Rs. 2.20 per sq. mtr.<br \/>\n\tfor non-irrigated lands and Rs. 3.30 per sq. mtr. for irrigated<br \/>\n\tlands. After taking into account the material available on record<br \/>\n\tthe learned Reference Court, in the said earlier case, awarded Rs.<br \/>\n\t20\/- per sq. mtr.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tsaid earlier award in Land Reference Case Nos. 2758 of 1996 to 2766<br \/>\n\tof 1996 was challenged by the Special Land Acquisition Officer in<br \/>\n\tthis Court by First Appeal No. 1925 of 2006 to 1933 of 2006 and this<br \/>\n\tCourt (coram: Hon&#8217;ble Mr. Justice H.K. Rathod) by order dated 3rd<br \/>\n\tJuly 2009 rejected the appeals and confirmed the award passed in the<br \/>\n\tsaid earlier cases.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tclaimants produced on record a copy of the said earlier award at<br \/>\n\tExhibit 45. The said earlier award has been relied upon by the<br \/>\n\tlearned Reference Court for making the impugned award. The learned<br \/>\n\tReference Court has, in present case taken note of the fact that the<br \/>\n\tsaid earlier case the notification under Section 4 of the Act was<br \/>\n\tissued on 6th May 1993 whereas in present case the<br \/>\n\tnotification under Section 4 was issued on 29th November<br \/>\n\t1995. Thus, there was difference about two years and six months<br \/>\n\tbetween the notification under the said earlier case and Section 4<br \/>\n\tnotification in present case. The learned Reference Court by<br \/>\n\tfollowing formula of allowing revisional increase @ 10% per year has<br \/>\n\tdetermined the market price\/additional compensation @ Rs. 25\/- per<br \/>\n\tsq. mtr.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tappellants are aggrieved by the said award determining the market<br \/>\n\tprice @ Rs. 25\/- per sq. mtr.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tTrivedi assailed the impugned award on the ground that the learned<br \/>\n\tReference Court has determined the market price without proper<br \/>\n\tapplication of mind and the impugned award is arbitrary and<br \/>\n\terroneous. He submitted that the Reference Court is not justified in<br \/>\n\tdetermining the market price @ Rs. 25\/- per sq. mtr. He submitted<br \/>\n\tthat the said determination is without any evidence on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tSheth learned advocate for the opponent has submitted that the lands<br \/>\n\tin respect of which the said earlier award was passed are adjoining<br \/>\n\tlands and there was enough evidence available on record before the<br \/>\n\tlearned Reference Court to notice and decide about the comparability<br \/>\n\tand similarity of the lands in present case and the lands which were<br \/>\n\tacquired earlier in respect of which the said earlier award came to<br \/>\n\tbe passed. He submitted that in the said earlier case also the lands<br \/>\n\twere acquired for the same purpose-project i.e. Narmada Canals<br \/>\n\tProject and that therefore the learned Reference Court has not<br \/>\n\tcommitted any error in relying the said judgment.\n<\/p>\n<p>It<br \/>\n\tis a well settled position that if any earlier award is made in<br \/>\n\trespect of acquisition of lands of the same or adjoining village<br \/>\n\tthen it is good guideline and base for determining the market price<br \/>\n\tof subsequent acquisition of land.\n<\/p>\n<p>As<br \/>\n\tmentioned earlier, the said earlier award was brought under<br \/>\n\tchallenge by First Appeal No. 1925 of 2006 to 1933 of 2006. This<br \/>\n\tCourt has, in the said judgment passed on 3rd July 2009,<br \/>\n\texamining the said earlier award and after examination, confirmed<br \/>\n\tthe award and there is no dispute about the fact that the lands<br \/>\n\tacquired in case of the said earlier references were in the<br \/>\n\tadjoining village. There is also no dispute regarding relevant dates<br \/>\n\ti.e. the dates of notification under Section 4. There is also no<br \/>\n\tdispute about the fact that in both cases lands have been acquired<br \/>\n\tfor the same purpose viz. for Narmada Project. The appellant herein<br \/>\n\thas not been able to point out any material on record which can<br \/>\n\tpersuade and convince the Court to conclude that the lands in said<br \/>\n\tearlier case were not comparable with the lands in question in<br \/>\n\tpresent case. The learned advocate for the opponent has also not<br \/>\n\tbeen able to show any material from the record of the case to lead<br \/>\n\tto Court to hold that the conclusions of the learned Reference Court<br \/>\n\tare erroneous or unjustified.\n<\/p>\n<p>At<br \/>\n\tthis stage it is appropriate to note that the Reference Court has,<br \/>\n\ton the basis of the material on record, observed as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<p>\t The<br \/>\n\tclaimants have produced the map of Village Malu showing Simada of<br \/>\n\tthe Village at Exh. 46. Here in this case,  the simada of acquired<br \/>\n\tlands of cited case and present acquired lands are same and all the<br \/>\n\tlands are acquired under the same project of Narmada Canal and going<br \/>\n\tthrough the record of the case it appears that the acquired lands<br \/>\n\tunder Exh. 45 and the acquired lands of present case are similar in<br \/>\n\tnature, therefore, the judgments produced vide Exh. 45 can be<br \/>\n\tlooked into for the purpose of fixing the actual market price of the<br \/>\n\tacquired lands of Village Malu.  (emphasis supplied)<\/p>\n<p>Having<br \/>\n\tobserved thus the learned Reference Court has, however observed<br \/>\n\tthat:-\n<\/p>\n<p>\t Now,<br \/>\n\tas per the above judgment, considering 10% appreciation per annum on<br \/>\n\tan amount of Rs. 25.00 per Sq. Mtr. for the period of 2 years and 8<br \/>\n\tmonths, the amount of actual market price of the acquired lands<br \/>\n\tworks out to Rs. 25.33 per Sq. Mtr., and here in the present case,<br \/>\n\tthe claimants have demanded a sum of Rs. 30.00 per Sq. Mtr. for<br \/>\n\ttheir acquired lands, which in view of above discussions, is on<br \/>\n\thigher side. So, I am of the vie that if a sum of Rs. 25.00 per Sq.<br \/>\n\tMtr. instead of Rs. 25.33 per Sq. Mtr. is awarded to the claimants,<br \/>\n\tthen it will be meet the end of justice. So, actual market price of<br \/>\n\tthe acquired lands of all claimants are fixed at Rs. 25.00 per Sq.<br \/>\n\tMtr. i.e. Rs. 2,50,000.00 per Hector.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tappellants have not been able to assail the said findings and\/or<br \/>\n\thave not been able to show any material, much less-evidence, to<br \/>\n\tprove that the conclusions are incorrect or contrary to record and<br \/>\n\tfacts.\n<\/p>\n<p>It<br \/>\n\tis also not the case of the appellants that there has not been any<br \/>\n\trevisional increase in the area where the lands in question are<br \/>\n\tsituate or that the lands in question are situate in such remote<br \/>\n\tplace where there could not have any revisional increase in the<br \/>\n\tlands @ 10%. The learned advocate for the claimant is justified in<br \/>\n\tsubmitting that the entire area of village Vadodara is highly<br \/>\n\tindustrial area and in realty prices of the lands in the said area<br \/>\n\thave increased at the rate higher than 10% and that therefore there<br \/>\n\tis no error committed by the learned Trial Court in granting<br \/>\n\trevisional increase @ 10%.\n<\/p>\n<p>On<br \/>\n\toverall consideration of the award and in view of the fact that<br \/>\n\tearlier award which (relied upon in present case) has been confirmed<br \/>\n\tby this Court in First Appeal No. 1925 of 2006 to 1933 of 2006 it is<br \/>\n\tnot possible to hold that learned Reference Court has committed any<br \/>\n\terror. The appellants have not been successful in assailing the<br \/>\n\taward.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tappeals, therefore, fail. Hence, the appeals are rejected.
