In the tabulated information extracted above, a Bigha of a land is equivalent to 3025 sq. yards as these are all Bigha(pukhta)

4. Arguments advanced by the respective counsels 4.1 Heard learned counsel representing the parties at length and with their able assistance perused the various awards passed by the RC on 17.09.2014, 25.08.2015, 30.10.2015 and 11.04.2016 alongwith the record of evidence produced by the respective parties before all the four RCs. They have also filed synopsis alongwith the gist of their arguments.

4.2 Learned counsel representing the landowners while criticizing the various judgments of the RC referred to above, have contended that while assessing the market value of acquired land, the RC 9 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 10 has erred in applying a deduction of 34/35% from the base value. While elaborating, they contend that the RC even after recording a finding that comparable sale exemplars of the contemporaneous periods have been produced, proceeded to deduct 35%. While relying upon the judgment passed in Mehrawal Khewaji Trust vs. State of Punjab (2012) 5 SCC 432, the learned counsels have contended that the sale exemplar with respect to highest price is to be relied upon to assess the market value of the acquired land. It is further contended that the RC has also erred in refusing to grant escalation for the period of gap between the date of sale exemplar and the date of notification under Section 4 of the 1894 Act. It is also contended that the RC while dismissing the reference petitions of village Bhaiyyapur committed a mistake in overlooking the sale instances of adjoining villages, which were comparable.

4.3 Per contra, learned State counsel has contended that the sale deeds of land located in one village cannot be considered for assessing market value of the acquired land located in some other village. They further contend that the RC has correctly separately decided the cases village wise. It is further contended that the deduction on account of development cost should not be less than 50% because a very large chunk of land has been acquired. It has further been contended that the sale deeds produced by the State have been wrongly ignored while passing the awards on 25.08.2015, 30.10.2015 and 11.04.2016.

5. Discussion by this Court 5.1 Before proceeding further, it is considered appropriate to briefly discuss the reasons recorded by the RC in the various awards 10 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 11 dated 17.09.2014, 25.08.2015, 30.10.2015 and 11.04.2016.

Award (17.09.2014) 5.2 Let us first take up the award dated 17.09.2014 passed by the RC while deciding two reference petitions relating to the land located in village Bhaiyyapur. The RC, after noticing that the sale deeds of the village Sukhpura, Para, Chunipura, Rohtak have been produced by the landowners observed that since these sale instances are with respect to the land located in different villages, therefore, they cannot be relied upon. The RC also observed that through these sale deeds produced by the landowners, the various real estate companies have purchased the land. The RC further noticed that sale exemplars Ex.R6 to R-10 are with respect to the land located in village Bhaiyyapur and the price reflected is not beyond Rs.20,00,000/- per acre. Hence, the RC dismissed the petition while relying upon the sale deeds produced by the State of Haryana.

Analysis by this Court of Award 17.09.2014:-

5.3 It is evident from the careful reading of the judgment passed by the RC that the court was not awake to the geographical location of the acquired land viz-a-viz the location of the various parcels of land in the sale deeds produced by the owners. Moreover, the RC also did not record a finding that sale exemplar from Ex.R-6 to R-10 produced by the State are comparable sale instances of the contemporaneous period.

Award (25.08.2015) 5.4 Now, let us analyze the reasons given by the RC vide award dated 25.08.2015 while deciding cases relating to revenue estate, 11 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 12 Rohtak. The RC found that sale exemplar Ex.P1 to P4, P-27, P-28 are with respect to various parcels of land sold in the area of revenue estate, Rohtak, which are proximate to the acquired land. The RC further noticed that various real estate developing companies have purchased the land on an average price of Rs.40,27,000/- per acre. Thereafter, the RC applied 35% cut for development of infrastructural facilities like roads and sewerages, taking into consideration the development expenditure and waiting period. Thereafter, the RC deducted a sum of Rs.8,27,000/-

from the average price of Rs.40,27,000/- to arrive at a figure of Rs.32,00,000/- per acre. The RC held that the landowners of the acquired land located upto the depth of 1 acre from the National Highway shall be entitled to market value at the rate of Rs.32,00,000/-

per acre. Further, the RC again applied deduction of 35% for assessing the market value of the acquired land located beyond the depth of 1 acre from the National Highway to arrive at a figure of Rs.26,18,000/- per acre.

Analysis by this Court of Award 25.08.2015:-

5.5 It is evident from the reading of the impugned award that the RC did not realize that comparable sale deeds of contemporaneous period have been produced by the landowners to prove the market value of acquired land. It may be noted here that the landowners have produced a sale deed is with respect to 6.875 acre of land, which is of a sufficiently large parcel of the land. This parcel of land has been sold at the rate of Rs.42,50,000/- per acre. Even remaining sale instances produced by the landowners are not with respect to small parcels of land.

12 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 13 Further, the RC did not visualize the geographical location of various parcels of land which were sold through sale deeds Ex.P1 to P4, P27 and P28.

Award (30.10.2015) 5.6 Now, let us discuss the reasons given by the RC in the award dated 30.10.2015 while deciding reference applications of Village Para. The RC observed that sale instances Ex.P12 to P16 cannot be considered as these relate to the sale of various parcels of land located in different villages. Thereafter, the RC worked out the average price of sale instances Ex.P1 to P11, P27, 62 and 65 at Rs.41,83,000/- per acre.

Thereafter, the RC assumed that the sale deeds are with respect to various parcels of land in the more developed areas and therefore, decided to deduct 34 % from the average base value. Thereafter, the RC granted escalation at the rate of 7.5% per annum for a period of 6 months and arrived at a figure of Rs.32,00,000/- per acre, for the acquired land located upto the depth of 1 acre from the National Highway, whereas, the land beyond the depth of 1 acre was assessed at Rs.28,65,000/- per acre.

Analysis by this Court of Award 30.10.2015:-

5.7 In the award dated 11.04.2016, the RC followed the assessment of the Court in the previous award dated 25.08.2015.
5.8. It is evident that the RC did not notice that the acquired land is in a compact rectangular block. The RC further erred in overlooking the fact that there is no physical boundary between the villages and therefore, the RC was required to be aware about the geographical 13 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 14 location of the various parcels of the acquired land viz-a-viz that of the sale exemplars.

6. Discussion by this Court 6.1 It may be noted here that both the parties have produced various lay out plans/sectoral plan of Sector 36A prepared by the officials of the Haryana Urban Development Authority based upon revenue lay out plan. Ex.P-2 is the layout plan in the files pertaining to the record of award dated 11.04.2016. In the aforesaid layout plan, the various parcels of the land covered by the sale deeds produced by the landowners are depicted to be forming a part of the acquired land. In the record of RC's award dated 30.10.2015, two layout plans Ex.P1 and R9 have been produced. Similarly, in the RC's record of award dated 25.08.2015, three layout plans Ex.P30, P32 and R10 have been produced. In Ex.R10, the various parcels of land sold through the various sale deeds produced by the State have been marked. It also shows that some sale deeds are part of the acquired land. In the RC's record of the award dated 17.09.2014, relating to village Bhaiyyapur, Ex.R11 is the site plan. During the course of arguments, it was considered appropriate to get a comprehensive layout plan depicting the area sold through the various sale deeds produced by all the respective parties in all these cases. With the consent of the learned counsel representing the parties, the Patwari of the area was requested to produce layout plan while marking the various parcels of land sold through the sale deeds produced by the respective parties. The same on being produced has been taken on record as Ex.'C'. On a careful study of the 14 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 15 aforesaid layout plan, it is evident that the acquired land in these three revenue estates namely Rohtak, Para and Bhaiyyapur is a compact rectangular block. On the Eastern side of the acquired land there is a Northern bye pass road which is 75 metre wide. On the Southern side, there is a railway track. On the Western side, there is a peripheral 60 metres wide road. Sector 37 is located on its Northern side. It is also evident that various parcels of land sold through the various sale deeds completely form a part of the acquired land and a tabulated compilation of the same is presented as under:-

Further, some of the parcels of land sold through the following sale deeds produced by the landowners partially form a part of the acquired land:-

From a perusal of the aforesaid sale deeds, it is evident that the land has been sold at a price of Rs.42,50,000/- per acre approximately. All these sale deeds are with respect to the period between May to June, 2006 i.e around six months prior to the date of notification under Section 4 of the 1894 Act. Now, let us examine the 16 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 17 various sale deeds produced by the State.
6.4 As far as sale deeds no.1956, 12327 and 13322 produced by the State with respect to land located in village Para is concerned, it is important to note that the aforesaid sale instances pertain to land comprised in rectangle no.71 whereas the acquired land of village Para is from rectangle no.5, 6, 7 and 13, 14, 15, and 21. The land comprised in rectangle no.71 is not a part of the layout plan and therefore, it is not possible to compare its location.
6.5 Similarly, sale deed no. 3797 dated 27.07.2006 is with respect to 1 kanal and 16 marlas of land which is also of a comparatively small area. Further, the sale instance (dated 17.11.2006) bearing no.

7156 with respect to land measuring 16 biswas and sale deed no. 263 (dated 26.06.2006) is part of the acquired land. Similarly, sale deed no.

2861 (dated 26.06.2006) with respect to land measuring 2 biswas is also a part of the acquired land. Similar is the position with respect to sale deed no. 5389 (dated 19.09.2006). However, these sale deeds are not only stray sale deeds but also with respect to a comparatively small area.

Further, as already noticed, the landowners are entitled to expect highest price of the land and therefore, the Court should not deny them the aforesaid benefit particularly when the land has been taken away compulsorily. Hence, the aforesaid sale deeds produced by the State of Haryana are not found appropriate to rely upon to assess the market value. There are sale deeds which are consistently reflecting the price at the rate of Rs.42,50,000/- approximately. In fact, there are as many as 10 sale deeds reflecting consistent price at the rate of Rs.42,50,000 per 17 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 18 acre, therefore, this Court has no difficulty in assessing the market value at the same rate.

6.6 Further, a bare look at the layout plan produced by the State in the High Court shows that the sale instances Ex.R6, R7, R8 and R9 with respect to village Bhaiyyapur are at a sufficient distance from the acquired land. In fact, these parcels of land are located on the other side of the railway line and that also at a distant place. Similarly, sale deeds produced by the State bearing no. 1956, 12327 and 13322 relating to the parcels of land located in village Para are not shown to be a part of the acquired land. Moreover, the sale instances are R6, R7 and R8 are depicted to be far away across the peripheral road located on the western side. Hence, it will not be appropriate to asses the market value of the acquired land on the basis of sale deeds produced by the State of Haryana.

6.7 Now this Bench proceeds to discuss on the question of deduction on account of development cost or the area required for carving out roads, streets, parks and other common facilities. This aspect has been examined by this Court in detail in Jai Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, RFA no. 3000/2016 decided on 15.11.2021.

The relevant discussion on this aspect is extracted as under:-

"7.14 The principle underlined by all these judgments is that while assessing the market value, the court is required to apply the wisdom of a common man and arrive at a figure which a willing seller will get from a voluntary purchaser for the property. Once the market value of the acquired agricultural land is being assessed and many sales exemplars of considerably big sized plots of the agricultural land are available, the application of 18 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 19 cut/deduction for development, in the considered opinion of the Court, is not justified unless the court is assessing the market value of a land where the sale exemplars produced before the Court are of relatively small sized plots or are being used for residential, commercial or industrial purposes. The deduction can be applied when comparable sale exemplar is of a plot of a very small size as compared to the acquired land in order to moderate the difference between wholesale and retail prices as observed by the Supreme court in judgment passed in Lal Chand (supra). The appropriate percentage of cut can also be applied if the sale exemplar is of a plot which was being used or was capable of being used for different purposes like residential, commercial or industrial. The development cut can also be applied when the comparable sale exemplar is of a plot which is located at a key position like near the road, market, developed residential colony or commercial establishments. There can be more than one reasons to apply the development cut. However, if the price is reduced while assessing the market value of the acquired land, without observing the aforesaid principles while making the deduction in the facts and circumstances of the individual cases, it shall be against the statutory intendment. In a case where the court is making an assessment with respect to an undeveloped acquired land as an undeveloped area and the sale exemplar produced for such determination is also of an undeveloped piece of land of reasonable size, then any deduction which is made on account of development work or development cost, in the considered opinion of this Court, shall not be considered appropriate. This can be explained by an example. Hypothetically, if a farmer purchases a sufficiently large chunk of land just before the notification under Section 4. On the acquisition of the land purchased, he is likely to produce the sale exemplar of the land purchased by him. If the court treats the sale exemplar as the base value and thereafter applies a cut or deduction on account of development cut or development cost per se, he shall stand deprived of the market value paid by him while purchasing the land. It would be against the spirit/intention of the Act. While assessing the market value of the undeveloped/agricultural land, the court is not required to work out the market value of the developed land or plot. In such circumstances, the application of development cut in the considered 19 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 20 opinion of the court would not be appropriate and justified. The cut/deduction is applied by the courts in order to arrive at a correct figure representing the true market value of the acquired land on the relevant date. This method has been devised by the Courts in order to tide over the situations where exactly comparable sale exemplars of contemporaneous period are not available. The court, while making adjustments or treating the prices of the developed plots of smaller size as the base, endeavours to work out the fair market value of the acquired land.

7.15 This matter can be examined from another angle. The intention of the legislature is not to put the landowners who stand deprived of the land through double whammy. On the one hand, their immovable property is compulsorily taken away, whereas on the other hand, they are not being compensated adequately due to the deduction towards the development. This cannot be the intention of the legislature. The fundamental intention of the Legislature has always been to make the land laws fair, just and reasonable towards the sufferers of compulsory land acquisition.

7.16 Once a large chunk of agricultural land is being acquired for carving out a residential/commercial or industrial colony and the sale exemplars of plots of reasonable size of agricultural land are available, then in the considered opinion of this Court, it would not be appropriate to apply a development cut for the purpose of assessment either towards development cost or towards the area to be used for passages, roads, drains, parks etc. The landowner stands in the shoes of a loser even if some part of the acquired land is being used for providing common facilities. The landowner does not gain anything exclusively on account of reservation of land for common facilities. In fact, the landowner suffers a dual loss. On the one hand, he is deprived of the acquired land and on the other hand, he does not receive a fair and appropriate amount towards the involuntary deprivation.

7.17 There is yet another aspect of the matter. The development agency/organization/colonizer or the government do not sell the developed plots on the market value assessed by the court. The plots are sold while determining price on basis of the demand and supply. Usually, the plots are sold on the basis of price determined on per sq. feet or per sq. yard. basis and 20 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 21 not on per acre. Therefore, certain percentage of land utilized for carrying out development activities like passages, roads, drains, parks etc. is to be accounted for by the developer and not the landowner. Therefore, in the considered view of this Court, the development cost incurred or to be incurred for providing common facilities is also required to be borne by the developer.

7.18 It is well settled that while assessing the market value, the court is required to adopt a pragmatic approach. The landowners who stand deprived of the property cannot be permitted to be denied of an adequate and just compensation as well. This is the responsibility of the courts to see that the landowners are adequately compensated. The learned counsel representing the parties have failed to draw the attention of the court to any precedent which lays down that while assessing the market value, the application of development cut or deduction on the base value is mandatory."

6.8 Further, the additional judgments relied upon by the State counsel have been elaborately discussed while deciding the appeal in 'Sant Ram and others vs. State of Haryana and others' RFA 6193/2015 decided on 17.02.2022 in the following manner:-

5.3.1 This Court has carefully and respectfully read the judgments relied upon by the State's counsel. In Ram Kanwar's case (Supra), the Supreme Court while upholding the order of the High Court noticed that there was an abnormal increase of more than 100% within a period of less than four months. In that context, the Court observed that such a sale deed could not be relied upon without making the necessary deductions to assess the market value at par with the estimated market value of the acquired land. In the respectful opinion of the Court, such observations do not mean that in each and every case, the deduction/cut is mandatory. This Bench has also carefully read the judgment passed in Kasturi (Supra) in which the land was acquired to develop Sectors 13 and 23 at Bhiwani. The High Court relied upon the sale instance (Ex. P-7) with respect to land measuring 3 Kanal located on the main road which is claimed to be have the potential to be used for 21 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 22 commercial purposes. The High Court applied a deduction of 20% after finding that the sale instance relied upon is not similar to the acquired land. The Supreme Court, while dismissing the appeal, approved the decision of the High Court. In the considered opinion of the court, the Supreme Court approved the decision of the High Court on the ground that there was a dissimilarity between the parcel of land covered by the sale instance and the acquired land. In the humble opinion of this Court, the aforesaid judgments in Ram Kanwar's case (supra) and Kasturi's case (supra) do not, as a ratio decidendi, lay down, that even if the comparable sale exemplars of contemporaneous period have been produced, still, it is necessary to apply some amount of deduction. Deduction is to be applied in a case where the Court finds that there is a dissimilarity between the acquired land and the land sold through the concerned sale exemplar."

6.9 It may be noted here that there is no physical boundary between the agricultural land of various villages. The land between the two villages can be in continuity if the owner owns the continuous parcel of land in both the villages or it can be divided by a few inches or one foot wide earthern dividing line or killa line which is few inches higher than the agricultural land on which at one point of time only one person can barely walk. It is similar to the dividing boundary marked by the various owners while segregating their land from the neighbour. There is no material to prove that when all other parameters are equal, only with the location of the land in one village or other contiguous villages the market value of various parcels of land located in different villages change significantly irrespective of the fact that these parcels are contiguous.

6.10 Further, it is by now well settled that the landowners are 22 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 23 entitled to the highest price fetched by the various owners of comparable sale deed during contemporaneous period. Reliance in this regard can be placed on the following observations made in M. Vijayalakshmamma Rao Bahadur v. Collector 1969 Madras Law Journal, 45 (SC) :-

"46-47 It seems to us that there is substance in the first contention of Mr Ram Reddy. After all when the land is being compulsorily taken away from a person, he is entitled to say that he should be given the highest value which similar land in the locality is shown to have fetched in a bona fide transaction entered into between a willing purchaser and a willing seller near about the time of the acquisition. It is not disputed that the transaction represented by Ext. R-19 was a few months prior to the notification under Section 4 that it was a bona fide transaction and that it was entered into between a willing purchaser and a willing seller. The land comprised in the sale deed is 11 grounds and was sold at Rs. 1961 per ground. The land covered by Ext. R- 27 was also sold before the notification but after the land comprised in Ext. R-19 was sold. It is true that this land was sold at Rs. 1096 per ground. This, however, is apparently because of two circumstances. One is that betterment levy at Rs. 500 per ground had to be paid by the vendee and the other that the land comprised in it is very much more extensive, that is about 93 grounds or so. Whatever that may be, it seems to us to be only fair that where sale deeds pertaining to different transactions are relied on behalf of the Government, that representing the highest value should be preferred to the rest unless there are strong circumstances justifying a different course. In any case we see no reason why an average of two sale deeds should have been taken in this case."

6.11 Similarly, while deciding Anjani Molu Dessai vs. State of Goa 2010 (13) SCC 710, the Supreme Court, once again, re-interated the same principle in the following manner:-

20. The legal position is that even where there are several exemplars with reference to similar lands, usually the highest of the exemplars, which is a 23 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 24 bona fide transaction, will be considered. Where however there are several sales of similar lands whose prices range in a narrow bandwidth, the average thereof can be taken, as representing the market price.

But where the values disclosed in respect of two sales are markedly different, it can only lead to an inference that they are with reference to dissimilar lands or that the lower value sale is on account of undervaluation or other price depressing reasons. Consequently, averaging cannot be resorted to. We may refer to two decisions of this Court in this behalf.

6.12 In Mehrawal Khewaji Trust's case (supra), it has been held as under:-

"17. It is clear that when there are several exemplars with reference to similar lands, it is the general rule that the highest of the exemplars, if it is satisfied that it is a bona fide transaction, has to be considered and accepted. When the land is being compulsorily taken away from a person, he is entitled to the highest value which similar land in the locality is shown to have fetched in a bona fide transaction entered into between a willing purchaser and a willing seller near about the time of the acquisition. In our view, it seems to be only fair that where sale deeds pertaining to different transactions are relied on behalf of the Government, the transaction representing the highest value should be preferred to the rest unless there are strong circumstances justifying a different course. It is not desirable to take an average of various sale deeds placed before the authority/court for fixing fair compensation.
6.13 It is evident from the perusal of the table that most of the sale deeds of the acquired land, information whereof is compiled in para 6.1 are in the price ranging from Rs.42,50,000/- per acre. Ex.P14 is a sale instance of 11 biswas of land which has been sold at the rate of Rs.42,73,454/- However, this is a small piece of land as compared to the various other sale instances. Hence, it would not be appropriate to rely 24 of 30 ::: Downloaded on - 01-05-2022 01:13:46 ::: RFA-458-2016 and connected cases 25 upon Ex.P14. In the present case, the notification under Section 4 is of 15.12.2006 whereas most of the sale instances of the acquired land are with respect to sale during the month of May or June 2006. Thus, there is a gap of six months. Hence, the landowners are held entitled to escalation of the market value for this 6 months period at the rate of 10% per annum, which works out to Rs.44,62,500/- per acre
