    Case Summary: CA/9135/2023 Decision: The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed the Union of India's appeals challenging the Reference Court's enhancement of land acquisition compensation. The court upheld rates of Rs. 3,750/- per bigha for Jirayat land, Rs. 5,625/- for irrigated land, and Rs. 1,875/- for Potkharab, rejecting arguments that the enhancement lacked adequate evidence. Key Reasoning: The court found the Reference Court's reliance on compatible sale deeds (Exhibits 27-28) from the same village reasonable and judicially sound. The court noted the enhancement remained within four times the original award—falling within government policy limits—and confirmed statutory benefits under Section 23(1-A) were lawfully granted with proper interest calculations.
