Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: L.A.R. No. 115/2020 Court Decision: The court partly allowed the reference and granted enhanced compensation to the applicants for their acquired land at Rs.700/- per sq. meter (instead of the original award rate), plus 30% solatium, 12% additional component, and applicable interest under the Land Acquisition Act. Key Reasoning: The court found the Special Land Acquisition Officer's original valuation methodology flawed—it relied on outdated revenue assessment-based land classification rather than actual market transactions. The applicants proved through comparable sales that the agricultural land near Mahad (with proximity to industries, railways, and tourism centers) was worth Rs.700/- per sq. meter at the time of acquisition in 1999. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
