Mohammad Raofuddin vs The Land Acquisition Officer on 13 April, 2009

9.3. Now, considering the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Mohammad Raofuddin (supra), it would appear that in absence of any sale deed judgement and award passed in respect of the acquisition of the lands made in the same village or nearby villages can be accepted as a valid piece of evidence, which provides a sound basis to determine market value of the land. In the instant case, it would appear that the lands, which had been acquired in the same village for albeit for a different purpose had been valued by the Reference Court at the rate of Rs.300/- per sq. mtrs., as against Rs.6/- per sq. mtrs., awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. It would be to this Court absolutely unfair not to rely upon the said decision and grant the same benefit as regards land acquired in the very village, albeit for a different purpose. Again as observed by the Hon'ble Apex Court, the method of relying upon the judgements and award passed in respect of acquisition of lands made in the same village is a valid piece of evidence to determine the market value of the land.
