| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as no case for interference was made out. The Referee Court had dismissed the reference petition on the grounds of limitation and also relied on the Revenue Record and evidence collected at trial. The landowners claimed that the compensation awarded was inadequate compared to the market value and potential of the land. However, since previous judgments upheld the compensation amount, the court found no reason to alter the decision. Thus, the appeal filed by the landowner was dismissed with no order as to costs. |
| Summary |
The case involves a land acquisition dispute under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The appellants, dissatisfied with the compensation awarded for their acquired land, sought enhancement through a reference to the Referee Court. The Referee Court dismissed the petition citing limitation and reliance on evidence presented. The appellants argued that the land's market value was significantly higher than what was compensated. This case highlights issues surrounding compensation for land acquisition and the legal standards for determining fair compensation in such disputes.
