Bhim Singh vs. UOI
references pertaining to award no. 3/97-98 village Aali, my attention
was drawn to judgment passed by the Hon'ble High court in RFA No.
254/78 entitled UOI Vs. Bharat Singh & Anr. wherein land notified
u/s 4 on 06.4.64 in village Molarband was assessed @ Rs. 12,000/-
per bigha. Reference was therein made to the fact that village
Molarband had same potentiality as the land in village Badarpur and
it was also observed that village Molarband is adjacent to village Aali
and Badarpur. It was further observed that the same rate had been
awarded for the land notified u/s 4 on 06.4.64 in village Badarpur.
The location and potentiality of village Aali as such appears to be
more comparable to village Jaitpur and Badarpur than village Jasola,
Tuglakabad, Tehkhand wherein development had commenced. Even
in reference proceedings pertaining to award no 9/94-95 it was
noticed that no substantial development had taken place in village
Aali as the land had been largely acquired in village Ali and Jaitpur
for construction of ash pond. Thus, no substantial development
appears to have commenced in the village. Further the land could
only be used for agricultural purposes. For the foregoing reasons, I
am of the considered opinion that it may not be prudent to assess the
value of land comparing it with village Jasola, Bahapur and
Tuglakabad. As such Ex. P4, P5 and P6 are not relevant to assess the
value of land. The authorities relied by the petitioner as such are not
applicable in the facts and circumstances of the case.
