7. There is no dispute about the facts, which are narrated supra. We have gone through the material record including the evidence. RW1 is the claimant. He deposed about the nature of the soil of the land, which is black cotton mixed soil and its fertility and the net income of Rs.20,000/- per acre which he used to get from the land. According to him, Abbapur, Navipet, Hankampet and Sarangapur are neighbouring villages and that the acquired land is situate at a distance of half a furlong from the road leading to Basar from Nizamabad and that Railway Station is at a distance of one furlong and that the Mandal Office is situate by the side of the Railway Station and that the village Abhangapatnam is well developed and is having all facilities like educational institutions, bank and other offices. According to him, his land is also fit for use as house sites being close to a road. RW2 while speaking about the transaction under exhibit B1, which is a copy of sale deed, had testified that he sold Ac.0.13 guntas of land of the same village to one Aluru Ravinder about 13 years back for a consideration of Rs.10,000/- and had executed the said registered sale deed and that the distance between the said land and the acquired land is about 200 yards. Exhibit B1 is dated 24.06.1991 and it is nearly three years prior to the issuance of the notification. Therefore, exhibit B1, the copy of sale deed, would show that land situate at a distance of 200 yards from the acquired land was sold for a consideration of about Rs.30,800/- per acre about three years prior to the acquisition. RW3 had stated that Government had acquired lands in Abhangapatnam village about ten or fifteen years back, for providing house sites to weaker sections of the society and that at that time, the LAO had determined the compensation at the rate of Rs.15,000/- per acre
