RAMARAO (D) BY LRS. vs LAO CUM ASST. COMMR KOPPAL . — C.A. No. 3793/2007

Case Summary: C.A. No. 003793/2007 Outcome: The Supreme Court set aside both the High Court and Reference Court orders, determining the market value of Ramarao's acquired land at Rs. 32,000 per acre with statutory benefits. The Court held that a single sale deed (dated 18.4.1986, showing Rs. 120,000/acre) could reasonably establish land value by applying appropriate development charge deductions, rejecting the lower courts' dismissal of this sole evidence. Key Issue: Whether compensation for 4 acre 20 guntas of land acquired for residential layout in Yelburga could be determined using one prior sale deed when no other comparable evidence existed.
