The instant appeal arises from the common judgment and award rendered by the reference Court, particularly in L.A.R.No.403 of 1988. Certain open lands, together with superstructure thereon, situated in village Delvada, Tal.Khedbrahma came to be acquired for public purpose of Dharoi canal. The notification u/s.4 of the Land Acquisition Act ('the Act', for short) came to be published on 14.3.1974 and the corrigendum was published on 17.10.1974. The notification u/s.6 of the Act was published on 17.10.1974. The Special Land Acquisition Officer conducted inquiry for ascertaining the market value of the open land as well as of the superstructure, which came to be acquired. Since the area of the superstructure was different and, therefore, so far as the land reference case No.403 of 1988 is concerned, the Special Land Acquisition Officer offered Rs.9291/- towards the compensation of the superstructure of the appellants-claimants acquired. The Special Land Acquisition Officer offered the compensation regarding the non-agricultural land @ Rs.3 per sq.mtr., for common plot @ Rs.2 per sq.mtr. and for open land Re.1 per sq.mtr. All the claimants, including the claimant in L.A.R.No.403 of 1988 felt that the compensation offered to them was highly inadequate and insufficient and, therefore, they applied for references and their references were numbered and registered as L.A.R. Nos.391 to 438 of 1988. Before the reference Court, about the compensation for superstructure, the claimants claimed the compensation @ Rs.400/- per sq.mtr., whereas about the open land, the claimants claimed compensation @ Rs.75 to Rs.80 per sq.mtr.
