Raj Bala vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors. on 22 July, 2003
Since the aforesaid sale deeds Ex.PW1/3 to
Ex.PW1/5 pertains to the years 2006 & 2007 respectively which have
been executed after the land in question acquired on 18.07.2003,
31
therefore, the aforesaid sale deeds Ex.PW1/3 to Ex.PW1/5 which are
of subsequent years have not been considered for fixing the fair
market value as on 18.07.2003 in Raj Bal case, therefore, the same are
also not applicable to the land in question which is similarly situated
in the present reference.
Sh. Mahender Singh vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors. on 11 May, 2006
28 Since, the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in the aforesaid cases
i.e. Mahender Singh & Gajraj Singh (Supra) has given compounded
increase @ 11.5% annually on the compensation awarded, therefore,
my decision is also supported with the aforesaid judgments of the
Hon'ble High Court of Delhi and also the award/ judgment dt.
14.07.2008 passed by this reference in LAC No.226/1/07 entitled Raj
Bal Vs UOI & Anr. Thus, I hold that the petitioner herein is entitled to
compounded increase @ 11.5% annually on the compensation
amount of Rs.15.70 lacs per acre fixed by this reference court of the
land in question as per her full share from the date of financial year
i.e. 09.08.2001 till the date of acquisition of the land i.e. 18.07.2003
which roughly comes to the total enhanced compensation of
Rs.19,20,568/ per acre (total amount fixed at Rs.19,20,568/ per acre
Rs.5,05,000/ per acre assessed by the LAC = Rs.14,15,568/ per acre
enhanced) as on 18.07.2003. The petitioner has not led any evidence
37
for other claims as averred in the reference petition, therefore, she is
not entitled for the same. These issues are answered accordingly.
RELIEF
29 In view of my findings on the above issues, the petitioner is
entitled to compensation for category A land as per her full share at
Rs.15.70 lacs per acre and the petitioner is also entitled to
compounded increase @ 11.5% annually from the date of financial
year i.e. 09.08.2001 till the date of acquisition of the land i.e.
18.07.2003. Therefore, I fix the market value at Rs.19,20,568/ per
acre as on 18.07.2003 (i.e. total amount fixed at Rs.19,20,568/ per
acre Rs.5,05,000/ per acre assessed by the LAC = Rs.14,15,568/ per
acre enhanced) of the land bearing khasra nos.114/18 (416), 19 (4
Rameshwar Solanki vs Union Of India on 3 February, 1995
Even in the cases of A. Mangla Gauri and Rameshwar Solanki (Supra)
relied upon by the claimants, 1/3 deduction was held to be just and fair.
Ex.P3 in our opinion could not have been ignored by the Ld. Reference
Court. Golden Rule of Averages could have been safely applied by the
Reference Court for determining the fair market value of the land. Ex.R
4 indicates the value of the agricultural land in village Mundaka @ Rs.1
lakh per bigha. This sale deed was executed on 14.03.1994 i.e. nearly 6
months subsequent to the date of notification dt. 15.10.1993 issued
under section 4 of the Act while Ex.P3 was executed on 27.02.1990
whereby the land in village Mundaka was sold for Rs.1,25,000/ per
bigha. Giving a reasonable increase on the value reflected in Ex.P3 for
the intervening period of 3 years, the amount would come to nearly
Rs.1,70,000/ per bigha while reducing the amount of R4 at the same
rate for the intervening period of 6 months, the amount would come to
Rs.94,000/ per bigha and average of both of them would give market
value of Rs.1,32,000/ per bigha.''

In the reported judgment in LPA No.279 of 1984 as Kehar Singh &
Ors. Vs Punjab State through Land Acquisition Collector, Punjab,
PWDB & R, Jullundur & Ors 148 the Punjab Law Reporter (Vol. CI
19921), it was held by the Hon'ble Punjab & Haryana High Court
that :
Joginder Singh Saini Etc. Etc vs State Of Haryana & Anr on 16 February, 1990
''The courts of law would generally be disinclined to categorise the
land and would be inclined to evaluate the entire land at a flat rate
whenever it has got the potentialities for being used for residential,
commercial and industrial purposes. The factum of the land being
situated in a compact block is another consideration which must
weigh with the court to do away with the belting system. The
location of the land in urban area is another factor leading towards
the grant of flat rate when the entire land is acquired by one
notification. Even suburban properties near or around the
Municipal Town can have the same potentilaities until and unless
evidence to the contrary is produced.''
Generally, orchard starts to develop at least 10 to 12 years and
no evidence has been filed by the respondents that the land under
acquisition are low laying. The counsel for the petitioner - herein on
the aspect of orchard over the acquired land has also relied upon the
judgment reported as Joginder Singh Saini Vs State of Haryana & Anr
AIR 1981 Punjab & Haryana 171.

21
dt.19.03.1996 reported as Ludhiana Improvement Trust Vs Brijeshwar

Supreme Court that :
Smt. Indira Sohan Lal (Dead) By Lrs vs Union Of India on 25 October, 1996
In terms of the
judgments of the High Court and as approved by the Supreme Court
in Om Prakash's case (Supra) and by the High Court in Jai Lal's case,
the claimants would certainly be entitled to higher compensation
than the one awarded by the reference court.''
