“The LAC except awarding compensation to the petitioners, keeping in view the price of their land on the basis of minutes of meeting Ex.R2 has not awarded compensation on any ground such as severance, extraordinary hardship etc. steep hike in the price of agricultural land in the area. Although, the petitioners have not been succeeded to prove exact magnitude of their severance, hardship, disturbance, enhancement in the price and moreover, there is no scientific formula to assess/gauge or measure the exact magnitude of severance and hardship, therefore, considering the totality of the circumstances into consideration, this Court is of the view if market price of the acquired land is assessed @ Rs.6 lac per acre irrespective of the kind on the date of publication of notification under Section 4 of the Act i.e. 24.11.2004, it will suffice the purpose and ends of justice will meet. Hence, the market price of the acquired land is assessed Rs.6 lac per acre irrespective of the kind of the land, on the day of publication of notification under Section 4 of the Act i.e 24.11.2004. Issue, partly, goes in favour of the petitioners.”
