Claimants have filed these first appeals for enhancement of compensation.

¶5Heard learned advocates for appellants, learned AGP for State and learned advocate for respondent No.3.

¶6Learned advocates for appellants/claimants submitted that four sale deeds were produced by claimants in support of their claims. However, reference Court has only considered sale deed Exhibit-31. It is argued that reference Court ought to have relied upon the sale instance at Exhibit-32 as it was just one day prior to the sale instance at Exhibit-31. Since the sale instance at Exhibit-32 is of highest value it needs to be considered in view of Mehrawal Khewaji Trust (Regd.) Faridkot and Others Vs. State of Punjab and Others, [AIR 2012 SC 2721]. Reference Court has erred in deducting 25% from the market value on the ground that there was road in the land of sale instance at Exhibit-31. Though village map is produced on record reference Court has erroneously held that the same was not produced. Reference Court has also 63 1072-17-FA+.odt failed to award interest under Section 34 of the Land Acquisition Act. By relying on the proviso under Section 34 of the said Act, learned advocate Mr. M. S. Kulkarni submits that claimants are entitled for said interest.

¶7Claimants whose lands are acquired out of Gut No.185 submit that there was common well in Gut No.185 and all claimants whose lands are acquired out of said Gut number are given common compensation. In view of common well situated in Gut No.185, the acquired lands are required to be treated as seasonally irrigated lands. However, reference Court has erred in treating these lands as Jirayat lands. Presence of common well is totally ignored by the reference Court. Hence, it is submitted that these claimants are entitled for compensation of seasonally irrigated lands. In view of this submission, reliance is placed on Chindha Fakira Patil (Dead) Through LRs. Vs. Special Land Acquisition Officer, Jalgaon, [2012(2) Mh.L.J. 530] and The Akkalkot Municipal Council, Solapur Vs. Shri Vasantrao Tulsiram Kharade and Others, [2009 LAC 565 (Bom)].

¶8Learned advocate for respondent No.3 acquiring body strenuously opposed the appeals and supported the impugned judgment and awards passed by reference Court. He submits that since in the sale instance at Exhibit-32 there was right to fetch well water, more consideration amount was paid. Hence, the same is rightly not relied upon by the reference Court. He further submits 64 1072-17-FA+.odt that on 06/01/2010 possession of the acquired lands was taken and the claimants have accepted the compensation, therefore, they are not entitled for any interest under Section 34.

¶9Learned AGP adopted arguments of the acquiring body and supported the impugned judgment and award.

¶10Heard learned advocate for appellants, learned AGP for State and learned advocate for respondent No.3 at length. Perused the record.

¶11Record indicates that as per the joint measurement report there is one well in Gut No.185 and 0.04 R area out of said Gut number is seasonally irrigated. Hence, the Special Land Acquisition Officer has treated the acquired land from Gut No.185 as Jirayat land and has awarded separate compensation for the well. It is a matter of record that total 6 Hectare 5 R land is acquired from Gut No.185. Merely because there is one well situated in the same and common compensation is awarded for the said well, the acquired land from Gut No.185 cannot be treated as seasonally irrigated land. There is no merit in the submission of claimants that acquired land out of Gut No.185 needs to be treated as seasonally irrigated land in view of common well situated in the said Gut number. Special Land Acquisition Officer and the reference Court are justified in treating the said land as Jirayat land and no fault can be found with the same.

¶12There is no dispute about quality of lands set out in the 65 1072-17-FA+.odt chart mentioned in paragraph No.4, since the same is claimed to be prepared on the basis of evidence affidavit of Special Land Acquisition Officer cum Sub-Divisional Officer, Sangamner, namely Sandip Vishnu Nichit.

¶13For enhancement of compensation claimants have relied on following sale instances of the lands sold from Kakadi village:-

(a) Sale deed at Exhibit-28 is dated 07/02/2007 executed by Navnath Dighe in favour of Shakuntala Game, by which 21 R seasonally irrigated land out of Gut No.140/2 of village Kakadi was sold for consideration of Rs.2,50,000/-. Thus, per Hectare rate of said land comes to Rs.11,90,477/-.

(b) By sale deed at Exhibit-29, on 12/02/2008 Sitaram Shinde and Vitthal Shinde sold 36 R irrigated land out of Gut No.286 of village Kakadi to Narayan Thorat for consideration of Rs.6,00,000/-. Per Hectare rate, thus, comes to Rs.16,66,667/-.

(c) By sale deed at Exhibit-30, on 07/02/2007 Navnath Dighe sold 21 R seasonally irrigated land out of Gut No.140/2 of village Kakadi to Sangita Game, for consideration of Rs.2,50,000/-. Thus, per Hectare rate comes to Rs.11,90,477/-

(d) By sale deed at Exhibit-31, on 22/08/2008 Navnath Pawar sold 40 R Jirayat land out of Gut No.289 of village Kakadi to Union Bank Karmachari Sena, Mumbai, for consideration of Rs.4,00,000/-. Thus, per Hectare rate comes to Rs.10,00,000/-. 66 1072-17-FA+.odt

(e) By sale deed at Exhibit-32, on 21/08/2008 Walmik Kandekar sold 20 R land out of Gut No.215/2 along with right to use water in the well in the land bearing Gut No.215/1 of village Kakadi to Dnyaneshwar Kandekar for consideration of Rs.6,00,000/-. Per Hectare rate thus, comes to Rs.30,00,000/-.

¶14The sale instance at Exhibit-31 is dated 22/08/2008 by which 40 R Jirayat land out of Gut No.289 of village Kakadi was sold for consideration of Rs.4,00,000/- (i.e. Rs.10,00,000/- per Hectare), whereas as per sale instance at Exhibit-32, on 21/08/2008, 20 R land out of Gut No.215/2 along with right to use water in the well was sold for consideration of Rs.6,00,000/- (i.e. Rs.30,00,000/- per Hectare). Without assigning any reason reference Court has failed to consider sale instance at Exhibit-32, though it was only one day prior to the sale instance at Exhibit-31. In terms of Mehrawal Khewaji Trust (Regd.) Faridkot (supra), highest sale instance needs to considered. Therefore, reference Court ought to have considered sale instance at Exhibit-32. Since sale instance at Exhibit-32 is of seasonally irrigated land under which 20 R land is sold for consideration of Rs.6,00,000/- i.e. Rs.30,00,000/- per Hectare, the same needs to be taken as comparable sale instance. Considering the the fact that sale instance at Exhibit-32 is of smaller area and larger portion of claimants' lands are acquired, it would be appropriate to make 50% deduction. The market value, therefore, would come to 67 1072-17-FA+.odt Rs.15,00,000/- per Hectare for seasonally irrigated land and Rs.10,00,000/- per Hectare for Jirayat land. No case is made out by claimants to modify the rate awarded by the reference Court in respect of Pot-Kharab land.

¶15As per the award, since possession of the acquired lands is taken on 06/01/2010 and compensation is accepted by the claimants on the same day, claimants are not entitled for interest under Section 34.

¶16In the result, following order: ORDER
