    Summary: Sanjay Govind Sutar v. S.D.O. Land Acquisition (L.A.R. No.8/2021) Decision: The court partially allowed the reference and enhanced land compensation from the original award. The applicants, whose agricultural land (2,700 sq. meters) in village Karanjadi was acquired for the Nageshwari Dam project, were granted enhanced compensation at Rs. 700/- per square meter (instead of the originally awarded lower rate), along with statutory solatium (30%), additional components (12%), and interest (9% first year, 15% thereafter). Key Reasoning: The court found the original valuation method—based on outdated land revenue assessment classifications—legally flawed and inconsistent with Supreme Court precedent. The award failed to consider nearby sale transactions, N.A. (non-agricultural) potential, and proximity to M.I.D.C. Mahad and tourism sites. Applying development cost deductions to comparable sales transactions, the court determined fair market value at Rs. 700/- per sq. meter, citing parity with predecessor decisions for similarly situated lands acquired under the same project.
