Rs.30,000/-, the market value is Rs.1,000/- per cent as on 16.03.1994. The document in Ex.C.2 is another Sale Deed, dated 03.05.1994 which is also about 5 ½ years prior to the Notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act. This document is in respect of a small extent of land and the sale consideration referred to in the document would show that the market value as on the date of this document is Rs.1,205/- per cent. The lands covered by these two Sale Deeds lie within a distance of 800 meters from the acquired land. The Land Acquisition Tribunal relying upon the sketch and Village map which was marked as Ex.R.2, came to the conclusion that the lands covered under the two Sale Deeds in Ex.C.1 and Ex.C.2 are located within 800 meters from the acquired land. This conclusion is not disputed by the appellant before this court. The Land Acquisition Tribunal found that the acquired lands are located within 5 Kilometers from Sattur Town. Considering the potentiality of the lands which are capable of being used as house sites and the lands are located near the industrial town, the Land Acquisition Tribunal fixed the market value at the rate of Rs.1,200/- per cent. Further the Land Acquisition Tribunal also relied upon a common Judgment dated 09.01.2004 passed in a batch of Land Acquisition Original petitions, namely, L.A.O.P.Nos.14 and 30 of 2001, wherein the market value had been determined at Rs.1,200/per cent, came to the conclusion that the land being similar in nature and have the same potentialities, accepted the same and fixed the market value at the rate of Rs.1,200/- per cent. Aggrieved by the same, the Special Tahsildar/Land Acquisition Officer has preferred the above appeals.
