15. Reference Court has found that out of total acquired land i.e. 26.837 acres, 6.052 acres land was in village Gird Gonda and 20.78 acres was in village Laxmanpur. Land in both the villages were adjacent and acquired under the same acquisition notifications having similar nature of land advantages, potential etc. Therefore, there was no justification for applying different rates in the land comprising in two villages. 16. Learned counsel for appellant did not dispute before us that entire land is a conjoint piece of land though falls in two villages and was acquired for same purpose under same acquisition notification. It is also not disputed that acquired land was situated in an area which was considerably developed and has commercial and other establishments in vicinity. The land was also being sold for residential purposes. School, College, Factory, Petrol Pump and Aabadi were all in the vicinity of acquired land. That being so, the reason assigned by Court below for applying same rate in both the villages is wholly justified and it cannot be said that Reference Court has erred in applying same rate in respect of land in dispute, which was in two villages.
