V. GANGAPURWALA, J.

DATE : 16TH SEPTEMBER, 2015.

PER COURT:

.

All these matters deal with acquisition of the properties of the claimants on account of submergence of area under Waghur Dam. 2.

Vide Judgment and Order dt. 19.12.2013, I have disposed of group of First Appeals bearing First Appeal No. 3060 of 2013 with connected first appeals, thereby upholding the valuation made by the reference Court in respect of the land at Rs. 600/- per R, however, had granted enhancement of compensation in respect of the structures, wherein the valuer's report was considered by this Court and had

5 FA2345.2015 deducted 10% from the said valuer's report. In para 7, 8 and 9, I have observed as under :

"7.

The Court has appreciated the evidence on record and had come to the conclusion that he accepts the valuation report. But then no reason is given for deducting the amount in some of the matters upto 60% to 75% and in majority of matters 25%.

8.

There may be some error. To work out the said margin of error, some deduction would be permissible from the amount as suggested by the valuer. Considering the fact that, the properties acquired are lands and small houses the margin of error would also be less.

9.

In the light of the above, it would be appropriate to deduct 10% from the valuation as shown by the expert.

3.

Mr S. D. Dhongade and Ms Kutti, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the acquiring body in respective appeals, accept that this Court had disposed of some of the appeals bearing First Appeal No. 3060 of 2013 along with connected appeals, vide judgment and order dt. 19.12.2013, in respect of the same acquisition. 4.

In light of the above, I pass the following order

ORDER

(i) The claimants in all these appeals would be entitled for the compensation of the acquired land at the rate of Rs. 600/- per square meter for open piece of land as given by the reference Court and for house properties acquired as per the

6 FA2345.2015 chart given below along with the statutory benefits as awarded by the reference Court.
