Laxmibai Sambharao Gawande vs State of Maha.Through Collector Yavatmal and — 800066/2013

The court partially allowed the claimant's land acquisition reference application, holding that the compensation of Rs. 1,37,500 per hectare awarded by the Special Land Acquisition Officer was inadequate. The court enhanced the compensation to Rs. 2,53,125 per hectare based on a comparable sale deed showing higher market value, after adjusting for factors like the purchaser paying a premium for adjacent land consolidation and the land being seasonally irrigated rather than perennially irrigated. The claimant is also entitled to 30% solatium, 12% interest under Section 23(1-A), and interest at 9% for one year and 15% thereafter under Section 28 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894.
