    Case Summary: 103/2020 Court Decision: The Civil Judge, Senior Division, Mahad partly allowed the reference for enhanced compensation under Section 28-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Key Findings: The court determined that the compensation awarded by the Special Land Acquisition Officer for 1,900 sq.meters of land in Bhomjai village (acquired for Nageshwari Dam) was inadequate. The original award was based on flawed methodology—classifying land by revenue assessment and relying solely on a Government Ready Reckoner without considering comparable market sales. The court found the Special Land Acquisition Officer failed to account for the land's non-agricultural potential, proximity to M.I.D.C. Mahad, Karanjadi Railway Station, and availability of civic amenities. After applying a 65% deduction for development costs to comparable sale transactions, the court fixed the enhanced compensation rate at Rs. 700/- per sq.meter, plus statutory benefits (30% solatium, 12% additional component, and interest at 9%-15% per annum).
