of
19.2 In Chimanlal Hargovinddas v. Special Land Acquisition Officer,
Poona & Anr. (1988) 3 SCC 751 while referring to the factors which ought
to be taken into consideration while determining the market value of the
acquired land, it was observed that a smaller plot was within the reach of
many whereas for a larger block of land there were implicit
rt
disadvantages. As a matter of illustration, it was mentioned that a large
block of land would first have to be developed by preparing its layout
plan. Thereafter, it would require carving out roads, leaving open spaces,
plotting out smaller plots, waiting for purchasers (during which the
invested money would remain blocked). Likewise, it was pointed out that
there would be other known hazards of an [pic]entrepreneur. Based on
the aforesaid likely disadvantages it was held that these factors could be
discounted by making deductions by way of allowance at an appropriate
rate ranging from 20% to 50%. These deductions, according to the Court,
would account for land required to be set apart for developmental
activities. It was also sought to be clarified that the applied deduction
would depend on, whether the acquired land was rural or urban,
whether building activity was picking up or was stagnant, whether the
waiting period during which the capital would remain locked would be
short or long; and other like entrepreneurial hazards.

K.S. Shivadevamma And Ors. Etc vs Assistant Commissioner And Land ... on 8 December, 1995
In K.S. Shivadevamma v. Asstt. Commr. and Land Acquisition
Officer, (1996) 2 SCC 62, it was held: (SCC p. 65, para 10) "10. It is then
contended that 53% is not automatic but depends upon the nature of the
development and the stage of development. We are inclined to agree
with the learned counsel that the extent of deduction depends upon
development need in each case. Under the Building Rules 53% of land is
required to be left out. This Court has laid as a general rule that for
laying the roads and other amenities 33-1/3% is required to be deducted.
Where the development has already taken place, [pic]appropriate
deduction needs to be made. In this case, we do not find any
development had taken place as on that date. When we are determining
compensation underSection 23(1), as on the date of notification
under Section 4(1), we have to consider the situation of the land
development, if already made, and other relevant facts as on that date.
No doubt, the land possessed potential value, but no development had
taken place as on the date. In view of the obligation on the part of the
owner to hand over the land to the City Improvement Trust for roads
and for other amenities and his requirement to expend money for laying
the roads, water supply mains, electricity etc., the deduction of 53% and
further deduction towards development charges @ 33- 1/3%, as ordered
by the High Court, was not illegal."
