Motiram S/O Bapurao Ingole vs The State Of Maharashtra Through ... on 1 October, 2021
22. As far as the valuation for constructed portion of
the acquired property is concerned, except the valuation report
of the expert witness, there is no other material, which could
be brought on record by the appellant/ claimant about
valuation of construction of the acquired property. The
Reference Court awarded compensation @ Rs.450/- per sq.
mtr. towards constructed area. The expert witness, i.e., the
valuer has valued the constructed area @ Rs.1760/- per sq.
mtr. The valuer has considered P.W.D.C.S.R. 1989-90 plinth
area rate for the specific building and arrived at the rate
Rs.2,200/- per sq. mtr. After deducting depreciation @ 1% per
annum for 20 years old house and future life of 35 years, the
valuation comes to Rs. 1760/- per sq. mtr. However, as stated
earlier, the valuer has given certain material admissions in his
cross-examination, and hence, the valuation, as done by him,
cannot be taken as it is considering the law laid down by the
Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Executive Engineer Vs.
Vitthal Damodar Patil (supra).
