    Case Summary: Jamila Hamid Mahalkar v. Collector & Others (L.A.R. No. 84/2020) Court Decision: The court partly allowed the land acquisition reference, granting applicants enhanced compensation of Rs. 700/- per sq. meter (instead of the originally awarded lower rate) for 3,099.5 sq. meters of land acquired for the Nageshwari Dam project, plus statutory solatium (30%), additional component (12%), and interest. Key Reasoning: The court found the original land acquisition officer's compensation determination flawed—it relied solely on outdated revenue assessments and an unadjusted Ready Reckoner rate, ignoring comparable nearby sales and the land's non-agricultural development potential. Applying proper valuation methodology considering actual market transactions and applying a 65% development cost deduction, the court determined the fair market value at Rs. 700/- per sq. meter, aligned with prior precedent decisions for the same village and project.
