However, in an appeal preferred by the acquisition body/beneficiary, by the impugned judgment and order, the High Court has awarded and determined the compensation at the rate of Rs. 1
It is vehemently submitted by the learned senior counsel that the lands in question were the garden lands and were having the access to the road and were situated in a prime location and which were nearer to the IT Park and therefore the High Court has material erred in awarding compensation at the rate of Rs.
Sasi, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the beneficiary/acquiring body have vehemently submitted that most of the landowners as such have accepted the negotiated compensation of Rs. 1 It is submitted that so far as the sale exemplar relied upon on behalf of the appellants is concerned, it is submitted that as the same property was sold for commercial purpose, by giving cogent reasons the High Court has rightly discarded the same.
It is true that the landowners who are aggrieved by the amount of compensation determined by the Land Acquisition Officer are not bound by the negotiated price agreed by the other landowners, however, the same can be said to be a relevant consideration for determining the compensation in the present case.
