MANDAL REVENUE OFFICER vs KAMALAMMA . — C.A. No. 2109/2007

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed the Mandal Revenue Officer's appeal challenging the Andhra Pradesh High Court's valuation of land acquired in Dharoor Village, Mahabubnagar District. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to value the acquired land at Rs.30,000 per acre (enhanced from Rs.7,000-8,000 per acre), finding that comparable sale transactions within the same village were relevant evidence despite being 1-2 furlongs away, and rejecting the appellant's argument that proximity was determinative. The Court directed payment of compensation with statutory benefits within three months, with each party bearing its own costs.
