Chart A FA/2460/2008 FA/2459/2008 FA/2458/2008 FA/1166/2008 FA/1165/2008 FA/1169/2008 FA/1172/2008 FA/1168/2008 FA/1179/2008 FA/1199/2008 FA/1162/2008 FA/1170/2008 FA/1167/2008 FA/2931/2009 FA/2455/2008 FA/2452/2008 FA/2454/2008 FA/2482/2008 FA/2453/2008 FA/2456/2008 Chart B FA/1730/2008 FA/1731/2008 FA/1732/2008 FA/1956/2008 FA/1952/2008 FA/1955/2008 FA/1953/2008 FA/1954/2008 FA/1750/2008 FA/1754/2008 FA/1753/2008 FA/1755/2008 FA/1752/2008 FA/1751/2008 FA/1231/2008 FA/1232/2008 FA/1233/2008 FA/1235/2008 FA/1234/2008 FA/1236/2008 3. The dispute in narrow compass is as under: 29 of 64 901-fa- 2460-08 (+39) (Jt) 30 3(a) The parties are referred hereinafter as arrayed in the reference proceedings. The claimants were owners of the respective lands situated at village Pungala, Tq. & Dist. Parbhani. The respondent / State started land acquisition proceedings in respect of the lands of above stated claimants for the purposes of development of industrial area. 3(b) On 16.01.1992, the Land Acquisition Officer issued notification under Section 32(2) of the Maharashtra Industrial Development Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act of 1961”). 3(c) On 06.12.1994, the respondent / M.I.D.C had taken over the possession of the acquired land. 3(d) The Land Acquisition Officer was pleased to award compensation in respect of acquired lands at the rate of Rs. 27,000/- per Hectare. 3(e) Feeling aggrieved by the amount of compensation awarded by the Special Land Acquisition Officer, the claimants had preferred the references under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 before the reference Court. 30 of 64 901-fa- 2460-08 (+39) (Jt) 31 3(f) The reference Court after considering the rival pleadings of the parties, evidence on record and argument advanced by both the sides was pleased to enhance the compensation in respect of acquired lands at the rate of Rs. 80,000/- per Hectare. 3(g) Being dissatisfied by the enhanced amount of compensation awarded by the reference Court, original claimants as well as the acquiring body / M.I.D.C. have preferred these appeals, by taking aid of Section 54 of the L.A. Act. 3(h) According to the claimants, the compensation, enhanced by the reference Court is inadequate, having regard to the quality of the land and its location and N.A. potentiality. Whereas, it is the stand of the acquiring body / M.I.D.C. that the compensation enhanced by the reference Court is exorbitant. The reference Court has not considered the evidence on record in a proper way and awarded exorbitant compensation, which has put heavy financial burden on its shoulders. 4. Heard Mr. S.S. Dande, learned counsel for the acquiring body / M.I.D.C., Mr. M.S. Deshmukh, learned counsel for 31 of 64 901-fa- 2460-08 (+39) (Jt) 32 appellants / claimants and Mr. P.M. Kulkarni, learned A.G.P. for the State at length. 5. Perused the impugned judgments and awards passed by the reference Court, record and proceedings arising out of respective L.A.Rs. and evidence referred by both the sides. Submissions of Mr. S.S. Dande, learned counsel appearing for the acquiring body / M.I.D.C. 6. Mr. S.S. Dande, learned counsel appearing for the acquiring body / M.I.D.C. invited my attention to the impugned judgments and awards, and submitted that the reference Court has solely relied upon on sale instances of small area, which are from Jintur town and awarded the compensation. He submitted that the reference Court has enhanced the compensation without any material on record and evidence. He submitted that the notice published under Section 32(2) of the Act of 1961 in the Government Gazette on 19.07.1990, which is pari meteria to Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court is required to consider the sale instances before the date of notification under Section 32(2) of the Act of 1961 for determining the market value of the acquired land on the basis of sale instances available for assessment. 32 of 64 901-fa- 2460-08 (+39) (Jt) 33 7. He submitted that the Land Acquisition Officer has considered the sale instances of similar lands in the vicinity of the acquired lands and arrived at a proper valuation by classifying them into various groups on the basis of assessment made by him and the sale instances. Accordingly, the compensation of acquired lands of Rs.27,000 to 30,000/- per Hectare came to be determined, which is fair and reasonable. He submitted that though the sale instances from Pungala village were available, the reference Court has not recorded any finding as to why the said sale instances are not relied upon. The conclusion drawn by the reference Court is nothing but the surmises and granted the enhancement by ignoring the factual position and the evidence on record. 8. Mr. Dande, learned counsel for the M.I.D.C. by placing his reliance on the citation in case of Avadhut Rokdoba Shinde and others Vs. State of Maharashtra and others reported in 2013 (5)Mh.L.J. 330, submitted that a notification as contemplated under Section 3(1) of the Act of 1961, has been issued whereby, by virtue of the provisions of Section 31, Chapter VI of the Act are made applicable, which is comparable with the notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Once a notified area is 33 of 64 901-fa- 2460-08 (+39) (Jt) 34 declared under the notification, post notification sales of the land, situated in the notified area are illegal and such transfers shall not bind the State. On the same line, Mr. Dande has placed his reliance on the citation in case of Gajanan Damodhar Shingare and another Vs. Sub-Registrar Class-I, Karanja Ghadge and others reported in 2015 (4) Mh.L.J. 339. 9. Mr. Dande submitted that the notification under Section 3(1) read with Section 31 of the Act of 1961 is equal to the notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 by placing reliance on the decision of this Court in case of Shaikh Kalim Shaikh Mohammad and another Vs. The State of Maharashtra and others (Writ Petition No.10895 of 2017) dated 25.09.2017. 10. Mr. Dande submitted that it is for the claimants to prove their claim for enhancement in view of Sections 18, 23 and 24 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The claimants have failed to prove their claim of enhancement for want of evidence. He submitted that the reference Court has enhanced the compensation by relying upon the sale instances, which are not from the same village, and as such, the impugned judgments and awards are liable to be set aside by placing reliance on citation in case of Ramanlal Deochand 34 of 64 901-fa- 2460-08 (+39) (Jt) 35 Shah Vs. State of Maharashtra and another reported in 2013 AIR (SC) 3452. He submitted that the burden is on the owner to prove the prevailing market value by adducing evidence by placing reliance on citation in case of State of U.P and others Vs. Ram Kumari Devi (Smt) and others reported in (1996) 8 SCC 577. He submitted that it is well settled principle of law that the factor enumerated in Section 23 is required to be considered by the reference Court as well as this Court by placing reliance on citation in case of G.M., O.N.G.C. Ltd. Vs. Sendhabhai Vastram Patel reported in 2005 (6) SCC 454. 11. Mr. Dande, learned counsel has also placed reliance on the following stock of citations in support of his argument. (i) Land Acquisition Officer, Hyderabad Vs. Male Pullamma reported in 1996 (8) SCC 247 . (ii) M.V.K. Gundarao Vs. Revenue Divisional Officer (LAO), Narasaraopet reported in 1996 (3) SCC 129. (iii) Government of Goa, through Under Secretary (Revenue) Secretarieat, Panaji Vs. Jagannath Vamon Khalap (since deceased by his L.Rs.) reported in 1996 (2) Bom. C.,R. 714 (Panji). (iv) Basant Kumar Vs. Union of India reported in 1996 (11) SCC 542. 35 of 64 901-fa- 2460-08 (+39) (Jt) 36 (v) Hookiyar Singh Vs. Special Land Acquisition Officer, Moradabad reported in 1996 (3) SCC 766. (vi) State of Maharashtra and another Vs. Shashikant Bhagwant Jadhav and others reported in 2003(Supp. 2) Bom. C.R. 248 (Aurangabad Bench).
