¶215

THESE APPEALS, COMING ON FOR FINAL HEARING, THIS DAY, THE COURT DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:

¶216

CORAM: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SHIVASHANKAR AMARANNAVAR

¶217

ORAL JUDGMENT

¶218

The claimants aggrieved by inadequate compensation awarded by learned I Addl. Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Belagavi in LAC Nos.1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 of 2011 have preferred these appeals seeking enhancement of compensation.

¶219

The land of the appellants has been acquired for Ballari Nala Dam Project. The land acquisition officer has fixed the market value of acquired land in a sum of Rs.75,312/-/60,250/- per acre. The reference Court has fixed the market value of the acquired land in a sum of Rs.2,55,000/- per acre. The land of claimants i.e., acquired are irrigated lands. Aggrieved by the award of inadequate compensation, the claimants have preferred these appeals.

¶220

Heard learned counsel for the appellants, learned counsel for respondent No.3 and learned High Court Government Pleader.

¶221

18 - NC: 2024:KHC-D:13971 MFA No. 102235 of 2016 C/W MFA No. 102230 of 2016 MFA No. 102231 of 2016 MFA No. 102232 of 2016 MFA No. 102233 of 2016 MFA No. 102234 of 2016 MFA No. 102235 of 2016 MFA No. 102236 of 2016 MFA No. 102237 of 2016

¶222

Learned counsel for the appellants would contend

¶223

that the price of sugarcane per ton is Rs.1,250/- for the relevant year 2005-06 and without taking that into consideration, the reference Court has erred in taking the average of sugarcane crop at Rs.1,125/- per ton. On that point, the learned counsel for the appellants has placed reliance on the decision of the Division Bench of this Court rendered in MFA No.435/2005 and connected matters decided on 08.01.2008.

¶224

Learned counsel for respondent No.3-Niravari Nigama would contend that the reference Court has rightly taken the average of preceding three years and rightly taken the average price of sugarcane per ton in a sum of Rs.1,125/- and awarded the compensation and fixed market value at Rs.2,55,000/- per acre. With this, he prayed to dismiss the appeals.

¶225

Having heard learned counsels, the Court has

¶226

perused the material placed on record.

¶227

19 - NC: 2024:KHC-D:13971 MFA No. 102235 of 2016 C/W MFA No. 102230 of 2016 MFA No. 102231 of 2016 MFA No. 102232 of 2016 MFA No. 102233 of 2016 MFA No. 102234 of 2016 MFA No. 102235 of 2016 MFA No. 102236 of 2016 MFA No. 102237 of 2016

¶228

It is clear from Ex.P-6-the pricelist during the

¶229

relevant year, that the price of sugarcane was Rs.1,250/- per ton but the learned reference Judge took the price at Rs.1,125/- per ton which is average price for three preceding years and not the exact price for the relevant year. The Division Bench of this Court in the matter referred supra has taken the exact price of the relevant year and calculated the market value based on the price of sugarcane. Considering the said aspect, the price of sugar cane for the relevant period i.e., 2005-06 at Rs.1,250/- per ton yield of sugarcane is taken into consideration. Therefore, the appellants/claimants are entitled to market value to be determined by taking the yield per acre of sugarcane as 45 ton and per ton price at Rs.1,250/- along with all statutory benefits. If the yield of 45 tons per acre and the price at Rs.1,250/- per ton of sugar cane is taken and market value of the land under acquisition comes to Rs.2,81,250/- per acre by adopting multiplication method as has been done by the reference Judge as against Rs.2,55,000/- as awarded by

¶230

20 - NC: 2024:KHC-D:13971 MFA No. 102235 of 2016 C/W MFA No. 102230 of 2016 MFA No. 102231 of 2016 MFA No. 102232 of 2016 MFA No. 102233 of 2016 MFA No. 102234 of 2016 MFA No. 102235 of 2016 MFA No. 102236 of 2016 MFA No. 102237 of 2016

¶231

the reference Court. The said market value of Rs.2,81,250/-

¶232

is rounded to Rs.2,82,000/.

¶233

In view of the above, the appellants/claimants are entitled to compensation by determining the market value of the land under acquisition at the rate of Rs.2,82,000/- per acre with all statutory benefits less the amount of compensation which they have already received.

¶234

9. In the result, the following:

¶235

ORDER

¶236

i. All the 8 appeals are allowed-in-part with cost.

¶237

ii. The market value of the lands acquired is fixed at Rs.2,82,000/per acre. The appellants/claimants are entitled to

¶238

compensation at the rate of Rs.2,82,000/- per acre with all statutory benefits.
