Final Orders / Judgements
Summary of Case 142/2020 Court of Civil Judge, Senior Division, Mahad awarded enhanced land compensation to the applicants. The court found that the Special Land Acquisition Officer's original award of Rs.97,500-68,500 per hectare for agricultural land acquired for the Nageshwari Dam was inadequate, as it failed to properly consider market value, comparable sales transactions, and the land's non-agricultural development potential near Mahad city. The court enhanced compensation to Rs.700/- per square meter, plus 30% solatium, 12% additional component, and interest at 9-15% per annum, holding the applicants' market-based evidence more credible than the officer's revenue assessment methodology.
