    Summary of Shantaram Dharma Mahadik v. Collector, Raigad (LAR 78/2020) The Civil Judge of Mahad partly allowed the reference for land compensation enhancement. The court found the Special Land Acquisition Officer's original award of Rs.97,500-68,500 per hectare was inadequate because it failed to consider relevant market factors, relied solely on outdated revenue-based land classification, and ignored comparable sale transactions. The court awarded enhanced compensation at Rs.700 per square meter (after deducting 65% development costs from sale evidence), with 30% solatium and 12% additional component plus interest at 9-15% per annum.
