The Land Acquisition Collector determined the market value of the superstructure at 5,340/- vide his award dated 18.3.1983. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the claimant filed objections.

It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal.

¶14

None has appeared for the appellant.

¶15

A perusal of the impugned award shows that the appellant has not produced any convincing evidence with regard to constructed area or the amount spent thereon. Inspite of that the learned court below has granted 50% increase on the amount granted by the Collector, which prima facie, calls for no enhancement. However, as no one has appeared for the appellant, the present appeal is dismissed in default.
