Copy of Judgment

Summary of Case 69/2020 The Mahad Civil Court partly allowed the applicants' reference seeking enhanced land compensation. The court found that the Special Land Acquisition Officer (S.L.A.O.) inadequately valued 7,880 sq. meters of agricultural land in Karanjadi village, acquired for the Nageshwari Dam project. The court rejected the S.L.A.O.'s methodology of grouping land by revenue assessment, holding it legally improper. Instead, applying comparable sales data and development cost deductions, the court awarded enhanced compensation at Rs.700/- per sq. meter (instead of the originally awarded lower amount), plus 30% solatium, 12% additional component, and interest at 9-15% per annum. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
