Prelude:
“the right to compensation for compulsory acquisition is a basic property right. It is unfortunate that ascertaining the rules upon which compensation is to be assessed can involve such a tortuous journey, through obscure statutes and apparently conflicing case law, as has been necessary in this case

The above observation of the Carnwath LJ's views in Judgment
of the Court of Appeal reported in 2003 (4) ALL ER 384 echoed by
The House of Lords in the case of “Waters and others vs. Welsh
Development Agency, reported in (2004) 1 WLR 1304 as follows:
Unhappily the law in this country on this important subject is fraught with complexity and obscurity. To understand the present state of the law it is necessary to go back 150 years to the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act 1845 (8 & 9 Vict c 18). From there a path must be traced, not always easily, through piecemeal development of the law by judicial exposition and statutory provision. Some of the more recent statutory prov isions defy ready comprehension. Difficulties and uncertainties abound
All courts face similar situations while dealing with cases relating
to land acquistion compensation cases in the process of arriving at
market value of the acquired property due to complexity, obscurity,
difficulty and uncertainty in the development of law by judicial
exposition and statutory provision in the process of the
determination of the compensation.
Here also, this Court is entangled with similar problem in
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
determining the market value as this court has to find a balance
between the extreme disparity in the award passed bythe Land
Acquisition Officer and extreme irrationality in the award passed by
the learned Principal District Judge.
2. Brief facts of the case
2.2. Before delving into the tortuous process of
determination of market value in this case, to cut the long story
short, the following brief facts are necessary:

3. Submission of Learned Additional Advocate General
3.1. Thiru.R.Baskaran, the learned Additional Advocate
General-VI appearing on behalf of the State assisted by
Thiru.M.Sarangan, the learned Additional Government Pleader
would submit that,
3.2.The land owners never produced any documents to
substantiate their claim for the enhancement of compensation.
They have not even adduced oral evidence to make claim on the
basis of sale deeds collected by Land Acquisition Officer relating
to factors like similarity, same vicinity and therefore, the learned
Principal District Judge committed error in applying the theory of
uniformity on the basis of the topography submitted by the
appellant. The learned trial Judge has not even recorded his
reasoning about nearest vicinity without any material to show the
distance between the lands of various land owners.
3.3. The learned Additional Advocate General would
further submit that the Land Acquisition Officer has divided the
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
lands into 2 segments and further grouped them in 10 groups and
arrived at the market value on the basis of location of lands,
classification of lands, guideline value of lands, more particularly,
absence of sale in the major group to arrive at the comparative
method. Therefore, for some of the groups, the Land Acquisition
Officer fixed the market value on the basis of the guideline value.
But, the learned Principal District Judge has committed error in
fixing uniformly, without any rationale to apply the principle of
parity. Therefore, he seeks to set aside the order of the “LAOPS”.
3.4. The learned Additional Advocate General assisted
by the learned Additional Government Pleader strained every
nerve referring through the award and two voluminous records
annexed with the records to demonstrate the error committed by
the learned trial Judge, by applying the principle of parity without
reasoning and only on the basis of topography of the village. They
further submitted that even though topography was produced by
the government authority, the Learned Judge without any clarity
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
of distance between Group-I of segment-I and remaining group of
segment-I and various groups of segment-II erroneously fixed
uniform rate of Rs.5390/- per square meter and hence, they seek
to set aside the order passed by the learned Sessions Judge.
3.5. The learned Additional Advocate General would
further submit that the learned trial Judge wrongly applied
multiplier factor “2.0” instead of “1.5”.
3.6. The learned Additional Advocate General would
fairly concede that the award amount under the head of solatium
etc., are correctly granted and State has no grievance in adopting
100% solatium and interest.
4. Submission of learned counsel for the
Respondent/Land Owner:
4.1.The learned counsel for the respondent No.1/owner
would submit that object of RFCATLARR Act is to grant fair
compensation either on the basis of documents of Land
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
Acquisition Officer or the documents submitted by the land
owners. In this case, most of the land owners in the village treated
the lands as their inalienable assets and hence, they have not
transferred the lands in the vicinity. But, all the lands are covered
within 2.90 km radius. All the lands are potential lands. All the
lands are contiguous. The guideline value of Registration
Department does not match with the market value of the acquired
land. The Land Acquisition Officer has himself collected all the
documents in the vicinity and hence, there is no necessity to
produce the document on behalf of the land owners. The learned
trial Judge has correctly applied the theory of parity on the basis
of topography and the government never disputed the total extent
of land is only 2.90 km and hence, the Learned Judge correctly
fixed the market value of Rs.5,390/- per square meter. The learned
counsel would also submit that as per the amended notification
the multiplier fact '2' was correctly applied by the learned trial
Judge. Therefore, he seeks to confirm the award in each AOP and
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
he placed reliance of following citations:-

4.2. This Court considered the rival submissions made on
behalf of both sides and perused the records and precedents relied
upon by them.
5. Points of Determination:
5.1. On the basis of pleading in these appeal suits and
submissions of the learned counsel appearing for both side
following points arise for consideration:-
i) Whether the learned Land Acquisition Officer had correctly arrived at the different market value for the acquired land by segregating the lands into different groups and has determined the compensation amount by fixing multiple factor of '1.5'?.
ii) Whether the learned Principal District Judge is correct in applying uniform rate of Rs.5,390/- per square meter to all the land owners and adopted the amended notification of Central Government to fix '2.0' multiple factor?
iii) What is fair and reasonable compensation that the land owners would be entitled to get?

Road (SH-37). 19 Villages were earmarked under both Dindigul
and Tiruppur Districts. The present village is covered under the
Dindigul District. Total extent of 101451 squaremeter of dry lands
comprised in various survey numbers of Kallimandayam” village,
Dindigul District was acquired by issuing Proper notification
under Section 15(2) of T.N. Act 2001 in two daily news papers on
28.01.2016 and was followed by publishing the notification in TN
Gazette dated 26.04.2017. The Land Acquisition Officer has passed
the award vide G.O(Ms)No.300, Revenue Disaster Management
(LA-1(1)) Department dated 20.09.2017 by including multiplier
cost by 1.25, 100% Solatium and 12% Additional Value from the
date of 15(2) Notification dated 28.01.2016 till the date of award
dated 17.09.2018 ie., (for the 964 days) on market value as per the
provisions laid down u/s.26 to 30 of the Act 30 of 2013. The Land
Acquisition Officer has divided the total extent of 101451 sq.mtrs
into V segments and further divided the segments into groups
and determined the market value of the various survey number of
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
the acquired property on the basis of the Guideline value of the
said Survey number and on the basis of the exemplar sale deeds
collected by the Land Acquisition Officers. The present Appeal
Suit Nos., are covered under the segment No.I, Segment No.II and
Segment No.III.
6.3.The compensastion amount has been fixed by the
Land Acquisition Officer, for each survey number with different
market value and adopting the multiplier factor of 1.5 as stated
supra at paragraph No. 2.5
6.4.The land owners have not accepted the said amount
and the matter was referred to the LARRA/Principal District
Judge, Dindigul District under Section 64 of RFCTLARR Act 2013
(Act 30/2013) to determine the fair compensation. The learned
Judge has fixed the market value for all the lands at a uniform rate
of Rs.5,390/- per sq.Mtr, and enhanced the multiplier factor from
1.25 to 2 as per the amended notification issued by the Union
Government in S.O.No.425(E) dated 09.02.2016 in Exercise of
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
powers coferred by Column No.3 Serial No.2 of the First Schedule
r/w Sub Section (2) of Section 30 of the of RFCTLARR Act 2013.

by the Land Acquisition Officer in sofar as the valuation of trees,
building, 12% additional value, 100% of Solatium and interest as
stated supra at para 3.1
6.5. Now, the Government has filed these appeals and
questioned only two aspects:
(i) Fixing Rs.5390/- per sq.mtr for all the lands situated
in the various survey Numbers.
(ii) Adopting the multiplier factor of 2 instead of 1.25.
7. Discussion on Merit:
To arrive at a fair market value without disparity and
irrationality, this Court recaptulates the legal principles laid down
by the Hon'ble Supreme Court and Apex Court of the various
countries to determine the compensation for the compulsory
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
acquiring land.
8. Meaning of Market Value:
Either in the Land Acquisition Act 1894 or in the
RFCTLARR Act, 30 of 2013 there is no definition for “market
value”. The courts are following the guiding principles laid down
by the various courts including Privy Council, House of Lords,
our Apex Court.
8.1. The following two decision of the Privy Council is
still followed by all the Courts to determine the market value:
Cedars Rapids The relevant market value is the “Value to the owner” and Manufacturing and not the property's value in the eyes of the taker (the public power C. vs Lacoste authority).

Raja Vyricherla Lord Romer
Narayana
Gajapatiraju v “even where the only possible purchaser of the land's
potentiality is the authority that has obtained the Revenue Divisional compulsory powers, the arbitrator in awarding Officer, Vizagapatam compensation must ascertain to the best of his ability the price that would be paid by a willing purchaser to a willing [1939] AC 302 vendor of the land with its potentiality in the same way that he would ascertain it in a case where there are several possible purchasers …”

9.Guiding factors laid down by the Hon'ble supreme
Court of India to determine market value of the acquired
property:
9.1.In the case of Waters and others vs. Welsh
Development Agency reported in 2004 1 WLR 1304
113....It is statute that authorises compulsory acquisition; and it does so on the footing that compensation in accordance with the prescribed statutory regime will be paid for what is being taken from the landowner. The statutory compensation regime is based upon an assessment of the value of the land to the expropriated owner. He must be taken to be a willing seller. He is entitled to be compensated for all commercially valuable attributes possessed by the land while in his hands, subject only to the statutory disregards...
9.2.The Canada Supreme Court in the case of Irving Oil
Co. Ltd. v. The King, reported in [1946] S.C.R. 551 has held as
follows:
“Probably the most practical form in which the matter can be put is that they were entitled to that which a prudent man in their position would have been willing to give for the land sooner than fail to obtain it.”
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
9.3.The Canada Supreme Court in the case of St.John's
(City) v. Lynch reported in 2024 SCC 17 has held as follows:
30...Compensation based on market value naturally flows from the objective of economic reinstatement. Displaced property owners should be put back in the same economic position that they were in prior to the expropriation; no better and no worse...
9.4.The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India reiterated the
principle laid down by the Privy Council in the case of Raja
Vyricherla Narayana Gajapatiraju v Revenue Divisional Officer,
Vizagapatam reported in [1939] AC 302, in different form in the
following cases:
Administrator General of West “8.... The market value of a piece of property, for Bengal v. Collector, Varanasi purposes of Section 23 of the Act, is stated to be the price at which the property changes hands from a (1988) 2 SCC 150 willing seller to a willing, but not too anxious a buyer, dealing at arm's length...” In the case of Kazi Akiloddin vs. 63... It is well settled that market value is determined State of Maharashtra and Others based on the price of a willing buyer-a willing seller at reported in 2024 SCC OnLine SC arm's length...
In the case of Union of India v. market value is the price which a willing vendor Ram Mehar, reported in (1973) 1 might reasonably expect to obtain from a willing SCC 109 purchaser.
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
In the case of Padma Uppal v. 4...Decided cases have laid down that the said market State of Punjab, reported in rate must be determined by reference to the price (1977) 1 SCC 330 which a willing vendor might reasonably expect to obtain from a willing purchaser.
In the case of Nelson The market value of the land means the price of the Fernandes v. Land Acquisition land which a willing seller is reasonably expected to Officer reported in [(2007) 9 SCC fetch in the open market from a willing purchaser. In 447] other words, it is a price of the land in hypothetical market Kamta Prasad Singh v. Market value means the price that a willing State of Bihar, (1976) 3 purchaser would pay to a willing seller for the SCC 772 property having due regard to its existing condition with all its existing advantages and its potential possibilities when laid out in the most advantageous manner excluding any advantages due to the carrying out of the scheme for which the property is compulsorily acquired.
This Court in Special Land Acquisition Officer v. T. Adhinarayan Setty [AIR 1959 SC 429 : 1959 Supp 1 SCR 404 : 1959 Cri LJ 526] in paragraph 9 held that the function of the Court in awarding compensation under the Act is to ascertain the market value of the land at the date of the notification under Section 4(1). The methods of valuation may be (1) opinion of experts (2) the price paid within a reasonable time in bona fide transactions of purchase of the lands acquired or the lands adjacent to the lands acquired and possessing similar advantages; and (3) a number of years purchase of the actual or immediately prospective profits of the lands acquired[1]. Since instances showing the price fetched for similar land with similar advantages under bona fide transaction of sale at or near about the issue of notification under Section 4 of the Act is well recognized to be the appropriate evidence for determining the market value of the acquired land [2]. It is well settled that in determining the compensation the court would take into consideration the potentialities of the land existing as on the date of the notification published under Section 4(1) (State of Orissa v. Brij Lal Misra, (1995) 5 SCC 203)[3]. 61. This Court
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
in Sardara Singh v. Land Acquisition Collector, Improvement Trust, Rupnagar, (2020) 14 SCC 483, has held that the rates of compensation awarded in adjacent villages cannot be disregarded if in the given set of facts and evidence, similarity is established. Similarly, in Om Parkash v. State of Haryana, (2016) 13 SCC 190, the Court held that compensation awarded in the adjoining village can be considered when there was similarity in potentiality. [See also Special Land Acquisition Officer v. Karigowda, (2010) 5 SCC 708][4]. When there is a choice between an exemplar where the transaction is between unrelated parties dealing at arm's length and between an exemplar where the transaction is between related parties of a higher value, both of which are broadly around the same period, prudence would dictate and common sense would command that we accept the value of set out in the transaction between unrelated parties [5]. The determination of market value, as one another put it, is the prediction of an economic event viz., the price outcome of a hypothetical sale. Expressed in terms of probabilities. Prices fetched for similar lands with similar advantages and potentialities under bonafide transactions of sale at or about the time of the preliminary notification are the usual, and indeed the best, evidences of market value.[6]1
10.Merits and De-merits of the award passed by the
Land Acquisition Officer:
10.1. Compensation consists two components namely,
fixation of the market value of acquired land and determination of

The lands are situated within a boundary of 1.6km
of each Segment Nos.I and II. Merely because no sale has been
effected, fixing market value on the basis of the guideline value is
not legally permissible one. It is well settled principle that
guideline value is to collect the stamp duty and it is not based on
market value of the land. The said valuation is always self serving
one of the Government. Therefore, the Hon’ble Supreme Court
consistently has reiterated to avoid the determination of market
value on the basis of guideline value. The relevant precedents are
as follows:
Jawajee Nagnatham v. Revenue It is, therefore, clear that the Basic Divisional Officer, 1994 4 SCC 95 Valuation Register prepared and maintained for the purpose of collecting stamp duty has no statutory base or force. It cannot form a foundation to determine the market value mentioned thereunder in instrument brought for registration.
In the case of Krishi Utpadan Mandi Parties who undervalue their documents, Samiti v. Bipin Kumar 2004 2 SCC 283 for purpose of payment of stamp duty, cannot be allowed to then claim that their own documents do not reflect the correct market value.
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
Sakthi & Co through its partner Vs. Shree 18.(1). the guideline value, contained in the Desigachary, 2006 SCC Online Mad 357 Basic Valuation Register, maintained by the (FB) Revenue Department or the Municipality for the purpose of collecting stamp duty, has no statutory base or force. It cannot form a foundation to determine the market value mentioned thereunder in instrument brought for registration.
10.6. Therefore, the Land Acquisition Officer is not
correct in fixing the market value based on the guideline value for
the above said groups.
10.7. The land acquisition officer has determined the
compensation for the Group 1 of the segment No.1, on the basis of
comparing 8 undisputed sale deeds and fixed the value of Rs.
5,390/- per sq.mtr. The Land Acquisition Officer collected more
than 128 sale deeds and chose 8 exemplars to calculate the market
value of the Group-I Segment-I property as Rs.5,390/- per square
meter. The learned Additional Advocate General has not disputed
the said method of calculation of the amount fixed to the Group-I
Segment-I properties. The said method is a legally valid one and
the same is fortified by following paras of the Judgment of the
Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Land Acquisition Officer v.

Karigowda reported in (2010) 5 SCC 708
82. This Court in Shaji Kuriakose [(2001) 7 SCC 650 : AIR 2001 SC 3341] held that out of the three aforestated methods, the courts adopt comparable sales method of valuation of land while fixing the market value of the acquired land. Comparable sales method of valuation of land is preferred than the other methods such as capitalisation of net income method or expert opinion method. Comparable sales methods of valuation is preferred because it furnishes the evidence for determination of the market value of the acquired land which a willing purchaser would pay for the acquired land if it has been sold in open market at the time of issue of notification under Section 4 of the Act. In Kantaben Manibhai Amin v. Land Acquisition Officer [(1989) 4 SCC 662 : AIR 1990 SC 103] this Court also stated that latest sale instance closer to the date of notification for acquisition of the land should be taken into consideration.
83. It is also an accepted judicial norm that the claimants can be given the benefit of awarding compensation on the basis of the genuine sale instance containing the highest rate, provided it has been proved in accordance with law and is a comparable instance. Such sale instance must satisfy all the requirements and prerequisites stated in the Act. It should be a bona fide transaction and should also be in reasonable proximity to the date of notification under Section 4 of the Act.
The said documents are also within the period mentioned under
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
Section 26 of the RFCATLARR Act, 2013. Even there is no dispute relating to the genuineness of the transaction. Under the said circumstances, fixing of the market value Segment-I Group-I at the rate of Rs.5,390/- per sq.mtr is correct.
10.8. But, fixing the value of Rs.124.19/-, Rs.98.85/- Rs.
49.45/- Rs.75.05/- per sq.mtr, for the remaining groups of lands
situated either in the sub division of same survey number or nearby
survey number amounts to disparity. In some cases where the lands fall
under the same survey Numbers, the land Acquisition Officer has
granted compensation of Rs.5,390/- for some sub-divisions and Rs.
124.19/- for the other sub-divisions of the same survey numbers. Further,
all the survey numbers in various groups of Segment No.1 are situated
within 1.6 km., of the circle. Without any reason, the Land Acquisition
Officer has fixed the market value in an unequable manner. More over,
as per notification, all the lands covered under the land Acquisition
proceedings are classified as dry lands as per the Revenue Records. This
Court perused the voluminous records produced before the Court below
and the Land Acquisition Officers, and culled out the following
particulars of the classification of the lands and guidelines value fixed by

10.9. From the above data, it is clear that the Land
Acquisition Officer has determined the market value without any
uniformity in arriving the market value of the various land
owners. Therefore, the award of the Land Acquisition Officer
suffers from demerits of inequal determination of the market value
of the various land owners. According to the view of this Court,
the only merit in the award is determination of the value of Group

1 of the Segment No.1 land by applying the principle of
comparative sale method. The Land Acquisition Officer has
considered the following sale deeds and has taken the aggrigate of
Rs.5,390/- per sq.mtr for the value of the land situated in Group 1
of Segment No.1.

learned Principle District Judge.
The learned Principal District Judge has uniformly fixed
the market value at the rate of Rs.5,390/- per sq.mtr, for all the
lands covered under the entire acquisition notification in various
L.A.O.Ps. The said approach of the learned Judge in the
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
considered opinion of this Court is not a rational one. It is true
that the Segment Nos.1 and 2 are covered under the distance of 3.2
kms. But, the Segment Nos.1 and 2 are acquired for laying the
Bye-pass road. Therefore, there is a de-merit in the judgment of
the learned Distict Judge in applying uniformity theory in this
case.
11.1. The learned District Judge is also correct in
accepting the value of Rs.5,390/- per sq.mtr., for the land covered
under the Group 1 of the Segment No.1, by accepting the
comparative sale methods adopted by the Land Acquisition
Officer.
12.Principle relating to the application of Doctrine of
Guesstimation:
From the records, it is seen that the land owners of the
village have been treating the lands as a valuable inalienable
assets for long years. All their life and soul rest on their land.
Therefore, there has been no alienation. The land owners protect
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
their lands like their life without selling it. In number of the
Groups there was no alienation. In addition to that in number of
groups only one or two sale alone has taken place. In number of
the groups, the land acquisition authority has found that the
guideline value of the particular land was more than Rs.5,000/-
per sq.mtr. The said survey number is situated nearby the
remaining groups of land. Therefore, this Court has to apply the
principle of guesstimation coined by the Hon'ble Supreme Court
in the judgment reported in the following cases:
12.1. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has applied theory of
guestimation in number of cases to the market value of the
acquired land.
12.2. Kamta Prasad Singh v. State of Bihar, (1976) 3 SCC 772
6. There is an element of guesswork inherent in most cases involving determination of the market value of the acquired land, but this in the very nature of things cannot be helped. The essential thing is to keep in view the relevant factors prescribed by the Act. 12.3. In Charan Dass [(2010) 13 SCC 398 : (2010) 4 SCC (Civ) 933]
22. Undoubtedly, an element of some guesswork is involved
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
in the entire exercise, yet the authority charged with the duty to award compensation is bound to make an estimate judged by an objective standard.”
12.4.Trishala Jain v. State of Uttaranchal, (2011) 6 SCC 47
57. “Guess” as understood in its common parlance is an estimate without any specific information while “calculations” are always made with reference to specific data. “Guesstimate” is an estimate based on a mixture of guesswork and calculations and it is a process in itself. At the same time “guess” cannot be treated synonymous to “conjecture”. “Guess” by itself may be a statement or result based on unknown factors while “conjecture” is made with a very slight amount of knowledge, which is just sufficient to incline the scale of probability. “Guesstimate” is with higher certainty than mere “guess” or a “conjecture” perse.
58. The concept of “guesswork” is not unknown to various fields of law. It has been applied in cases relating to insurance, taxation, compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act as well as under the Labour Laws. All that is required from a court is that such guesswork has to be used with greater element of caution and within the determinants of law declared by the legislature or by the Courts from time to time.
process in itself. At the same time “guess” cannot be treated synonymous to “conjecture”. “Guess” by itself may be a statement or result based on unknown factors while “conjecture” is made with a very slight amount of knowledge, which is just sufficient to incline the scale of probability. “Guesstimate” is with higher certainty than mere “guess” or a “conjecture” per se.
63. Under the Act, as settled by various judgments of this Court, there are different methods of computation of compensation payable to the claimants, for example it can be based upon comparable sale instances, awards and judgments relating to the similar or comparable lands, method of averages, yearly yields with reference to the revenue earned by the land, etc. Whatever method of determining the compensation is applied by the court, its result should always be reasonable, just and fair as that is the purpose sought to be achieved under the scheme of the Act. For attaining that purpose,
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
application of some guesswork may be necessary but this principle would have hardly any application in a case of no evidence. In other words, where the parties have not brought on record any evidence, then the court will not be in a position to award compensation merely on the basis of imagination, conjecture, etc.
64. These precedents clearly demonstrate that the court may apply some guesswork before it could arrive at a final determination, which is in consonance with the statutory law as well as the principles stated in the judicial pronouncements. As already noticed, the guesswork has to be used for determination of compensation with greater element of caution and the principle of guesstimation will have no application to the case of “no evidence”. This principle is only intended to bridge the gap between the calculated compensation and the actual compensation that the claimants may be entitled to receive as per the facts of a given case to meet the ends of justice.
65. It will be appropriate for us to state certain principles controlling the application of “guesstimate”:
(a) Wherever the evidence produced by the parties is not sufficient to determine the compensation with exactitude, this principle can be resorted to.
(b) Discretion of the court in applying guesswork to the facts of a given case is not unfettered but has to be reasonable and should have a connection to the data on record produced by the parties by way of evidence. Further, this entire exercise has to be within the limitations specified under Sections 23 and 24 of the Act and cannot be made in detriment thereto.
66. Applying these principles to the facts of the present case, we have to take recourse to the “principle of guesstimation” inasmuch as it is essential for fixation of fair market value of the land which shall be the basis for determining the compensation payable to the claimants. 12.5. 2024 SCC OnLine SC 1691 New Okhla Industrial Development Authority … Appellant(s); Versus Harnand Singh (Deceased) Through Lrs and Others … Respondent(s).
31. Guesstimation is a heuristic device that enables the court, in the absence of direct evidence and relevant sale exemplars, to make a reasonable and informed guess or estimation of the market value of the land under acquisition, and concomitantly the compensation payable by the appropriate
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
Government. In that sense, guesstimation hinges on the Court's ability to exercise informed judgment and expertise in assessing the market value of land, especially when the evidence does not tender a straightforward answer.
32. This principle accentuates the fundamental understanding that determining compensation for land is not a matter of exact science but involves a significant element of estimation. Indeed, this holds true for valuation of land in general, which is affected by a multitude of factors such as its location, surrounding market conditions, feasible uses etc. Accordingly, while evidence and calculations can aid in estimating the land value, they ultimately serve as tools for approximation rather than precision. Instead, land valuation—and consequently the affixation of compensation— remains an exercise of informed estimation, requiring the integration of diverse data points and professional judgment concerning subjective, intangible and dynamic elements. Pursing a single precise valuation or compensation figure is bound to be unjust, representing a rigid approach and a procrustean endeavour at best.
33. Having said that, it is important to clarify that the process of determining compensation is not entirely subjective. While it may not be possible to arrive at a definitive figure, the exercise is still epistemologically objective in so far as it is grounded in evidence and the consideration of relevant factors. In case the compensation is fixed agnostically to the factors affecting the valuation of the land, the resultant figure might be arbitrary and may fail to adequately compensate the landowner for the expropriated land. Hence, while some subjectivity may exist in fixing the final figure based on these factors, the sliding scale of judicial discretion cannot be extended to mere speculation.
34. Accordingly, while the Court can use the principle of guesstimation in reasonably estimating the value of land in the absence of direct evidence, the exercise ought not to be purely hypothetical. Instead, the Court must embrace a holistic view and consider all relevant factors and existing evidence, even if not directly comparable, to arrive at a fair determination of compensation.
35. Broadly, such relevant factors can be divided into three categories:
i. Characteristics of the land : The valuation of land is undeniably influenced by its inherent characteristics. A parcel of land endowed with
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
advantageous features that enhance its accessibility and usability tends to command higher market price and thus, a greater valuation in comparison to lands lacking such attributes. Key factors contributing to such features include connectivity via roads and other means of transportation, the size and shape of the land, availability of essential utilities such as electricity and water, the evenness or levelling of the land's surface, width of frontage, and nature and status of the surrounding area etc.;
ii. Future potentiality of the land : In addition to its characteristics, the valuation of land is also influenced by its potentiality. Lands with the potential to be used for commercial or residential purposes; that are located in or near a developed area; or which are proximate to tourist destinations, are perceived to hold greater value in the future. Consequently, landowners may anticipate higher future prices and accordingly demand higher sale prices compared to lands lacking these attributes. Accordingly, these features also lead to an increase in valuation; and
iii. Factors denoting market sentiment : Market sentiments are powerful drivers of land valuation. Even if a particular piece of land possesses all desirable features, its valuation can still suffer if the market conditions at the time of publication of the notification under Section 4 of the 1894 Act were unfavourable. Factors such as economic recessions, political instability, speculative investments or real estate crisis can impact the perceived value of the land. Thus, these extraneous economic and political factors must also be considered when assessing land valuation.
13. Theory of belting system:
13.1. By applying the principle of guesstimation, to arrive
the proper and fair market value of the lands, this Court thinks fit
to apply the further principle of belting system in determining the
compensation for the lands covered under the Segment Nos.1 and
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
13.2. The various authors have laid various principles to
apply the method of belting system and the sum and substance of
the said principles are as follows:
1.Value of a plot of land has a great bearing on its road frontage. Frontage land has a greater value than back land.
2.So in order to find out a more realistic value of land the entire plot is divided into a number of convenient strips by lines parallel to the centre line of the road.
3.Each such strip of land is known as belt. The depth of front belt is judicially ascertained on the consideration (the depth of the land and) to what depth of the land does the maximum value extend.
4.Then a relationship regarding the value and the depth of each belt to the front belt is fixed up. Ascertaining rate per sq.m of land for the first belt the value of each belt is worked out.
5.Multiply the area of each belt by respective related rate per unit area.
6.After summing up the value of each belt the value of the entire plot of land can be known. This system of valuation is known as Belting Method of Valuation.
7.Normally the plot of land is divided into three belts. The depth of the second belt is taken as 1.5 times that of front belt and the depth of the third belt at 1.5 times the depth of the second belt or depth remaining after second belt is considered as the depth of third belt.
8.Value of front belt is maximum. The second belt is valued at two-third rate of first belt and the third belt is valued at half rate of first belt.
9.Value of recessed land not lying within the perpendiculars
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
drawn on belting lines from the end points is valued at three-fourth value in that particular belt of land.
14.Principle laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court
in applying the belting method:
In the case of Mathura “Where a large area of land in an urban locality is sought to be Prosad Haigharia v.State of acquired in determining the market value, the ‘method of West Bengal reported in belting’ is appropriate. It is common knowledge that lands (1970) 3 SCC 730) having frontage on the main roads in urban areas are always more attractive than the lands which have no such frontage” in Mirza Nausherwan “It is true that the court has adopted a higher value for a strip Khan v. Collector (Land 50 feet wide adjoining the road, based on the principle of Acquisition), Hyderabad [(197 belting There is no doubt that when we deal with value of an
5) 1 SCC 238] where extensive plot of land in a city the strip that adjoins an Krishna Iyer, J., who spoke important road will have a higher value than what is in the for the Bench said : [p. 241, rear, for obvious reasons of potential user or commercial para 8] exploitation.” Lal Chand v. Union of 72...the price of a property on a main road may be many times India, (2009) 15 SCC 769 more than the price of a property on a parallel smaller road, though the two properties may be situated back to back.
73. It cannot be said that merely because two properties adjoin each other or touch each other the value applicable to the property facing a main road, should be applied to the property to its rear facing a service road. Therefore, while a distance of about a kilometre may not make a difference for the purposes of market value in a rural village, even a distance of 50 metres may make a huge difference in market value in urban properties.
14.1. In the case of the Lal Chand vs. Union of India
reported in 2009 15 SCC 769, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has
reiterated the principle of belting system in paragraph No.28,
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
which is more relevant to decide this case.
15.Determination of the fair market value of segment
Nos.1 and 2:
This Court perused the sketch prepared by the Land
Acquisition Officer and for better understanding, this Court re-
produces the said drawing of the sketch as below:
In the sketch submitted by authority, there is no
reference of location of exemplar. This court for the sake of
convenence, numbers them as G1R1, G1R2. From the above
topography of the acquired land, it can be found that there is a
difference between potentiality of land situated in the Group 1
Segment 1 of the property and Group II, III, IV, V and VI of the
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
segment No.1 property. Similarly, Group II of the segment No.2 of
the property has different potential value than the other groups of
the segment No.2 property. For better understanding, from the
topography, the Survey Nos.409 and 410 come under the segment
No.1 situated adjacent to already existing main road passing
through the centre village of the Kallimandayam, Dindigul
District and the Survey No.596 come under the segment No.2 also
is situated adjacent to the main road. Both are situated in the
meeting point of the bye-pass road. In between the same, the
remaining survey number of the Segment Nos.1 and 2 are
situated. Both segments covered approximately 3.05 kms. But, 3.05
kms stretch of the land is not running on either side of already
existing main road. To avoid the cost only, the authority decided
to lay the bye-pass road. Land owners have not produced any
documents to substantiate their claim. But, their case is that all the
sale deeds relating to the acquisition form part of the award.
Therefore, they pleaded that there is no necessity to reproduce the
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
said documents. Their further plea is fair compensation would be
granted on the basis of the documents collected by the Land
Acquisition Authority themselves. The said submission of the
land owners seems reasonable considering the facts of the present
case and same is fortified by following paras Hon'ble Supreme
Court 2010 (5) SCC 708 para 83.
“83. Admittedly, the claimants produced no sale instances. In our view, these sale instances can be taken into consideration by the Court and benefit of the highest instance can be granted to the claimants in accordance with law in fixing the market value of the acquired land. Whatever benefit accrues to the claimants from the record produced and proved by the respondents, cannot be denied to them just because they have not produced evidence by way of sale instances. “
16. Determination of the Compensation of the S.No.
409/1B2, 409/1A2B, 410/A, 410/1B1A, 410/1B3, 409/1A2A, 419/2A,
420/2A:
This Court perused the exemplar of 8 sale deeds to arrive
the determination of the market value of the lands covered under
the Group 1 of the Segment No.1. In the group I, segment No.1 the
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
following survey Numbers are covered:
S.Nos.409/1B2, 409/1A2B.
16.1.The Land Acquisition Officer fixed the value of the
Group I, VI, Segment No.1 for the various survey numbers at the
rate of Rs.5,390/-, Rs.5417.81/- respectively in the following
manner:
Sl. Survey No Segment Gro L.A.O. Court No No.I up No. 1 409/1B2 1 I 5417.81/- 5,390/-
2 409/1A2B 1 I 5417.81/- 5,390/-
3 410/A, 1 VI 5,390/- 5,390/-
410/1B1A, 410/1B3, 409/1A2A, 419/2A, 420/2A,
16.2. But, the Land Acquisition Officer, has determined
the market value of the some of other sub division of same survey
number at the rate of Rs.124.19/- per sq.Mtr.
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
Group VI Segment No.1 Group II Segment No.1 419/2A Rs.5390/- 419/2C Rs.124.19/-
420/2A Rs.5390/- 420/2C 124.19 420/2B 124.1916.3. From the above, it is clear that the Land Acquisition
officer without any justification has applied different yard stick
and has granted different compensation to the same survey
number. Therefore, this Court inclines to fix the market value of
Rs.5,390/- per sq.mtr to the lands covered under the segment I,
group 2 of the survey numbers 419/2C, 419/2B, 420/2C, 420/2B.
16.4. Accordingly this court fixes the market value of
5390/- per square metter to the lands covered under
409/1B2,409/1A2B,410/A, 410/1B1A,410/1B3, 409/1A2A,
419/2A, 420/2A, 412/1.

17. Determination of the Compensation of the S.No.
431/1B2A, 432/2A, 432/2B,:
17.1. One of the exemplar sale deed is situated in the
survey No.423. The sale consideration in the said survey number
is Rs.5431 and the same was mentioned in the diagram as G1R1.
The distance between the survey No.423 and 419, 420, 431 and 432
are all equal. But, the survey No.409, 410, 419 and 420 are situated
on the already existing main road. Therefore, applying the
principle of belting system, as the lands in Survey Nos.431 and
432 are situated immediately adjacent to the line 409 and 410 of
the land, this Court fixes the market value for the land situated in
the survey Nos.432 and 431 at the rate of Rs.5,000/-, after taking
into consideration the value of the sale deed mentioned in G1R1
(Survey No.423)

18. Determination of the Compensation to remaining
S.No.430/2A1, 430/1B2A, 439/1C, 441/2B, 447/2, 638
18.1. The survey No.430 is situated immediately adjacent
to the survey No.431 in the discending order commencing from
the survey No.409. Survey No.440 is situated immediately
adjacent to the survey No.430 in the discending order
commencing from the survey No.409. The survey No.441 is
situated immediately adjacent to the survey No.440 in the
discending order commencing from the survey No.409. The
survey No.638 is situated immediately adjacent to the survey No.
441 in the discending order commencing from the survey No.409.
The survey No.636 is situated immediately adjacent to the survey
No.638 in the discending order commencing from the survey No.
409. The survey No.633 is situated immediately adjacent to the
survey No.636 in the discending order commencing from the
survey No.409. By applying the above principle of belting custom,
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
this Court exercises the above determination of the compensation
of various survey numbers by considering the distance from the
main road. For clarity and brivity, the redetermination of the
amount from the land situated adjacent to the road side to the
middle of the segment No.1, is as follows:
Considering the above situation of the land, this Court fixes the
market value of the lands covered under the Survey No.430, as
Rs.4,700/- and Survey No.439, 440 as Rs.4,500/- and Survey No.
441 is Rs.4,300/-, Survey No.638 as Rs.4,100/- Survey No.636 as
Rs.3,900/-, survey No.633 as Rs.3,600/-.
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
19. Determination of the Compensation of the Segment
No.2 in Survey No.628/3B:
19.1. This Court follows similar approach in detemining
the compensation for the various groups of the segment No.2. As
in the case of the said group I, Segment No.1, this Court finds
following dissimilarity in the case of - segment No.2 group IV and
segment No.2 group I
Group IV Segment No.2 Group I Segment No.2 628/1B 5390/- 628/3B (124.19)
19.2.Therefore, this Court inclines to fix the market value
of Rs.5,390/- per sq.mtr to the lands covered under the segment II,
group 1 of survey No.628/3B.
19.3.The Segment No.2 Group IV, the Land Acquisition
Officer has fixed the market value at the rate of Rs.5,390/- per
sq.mtr on the basis of the guideline value. This Court has already
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
held above that the guidelines value cannot be taken for the
determination of the market value. Therefore, this Court
redetermines the market value of the entire segment 2 by applying
the principle of guesstimation and belting system. As per the
above topography, the decending order of the survey number
commencing from the main road to the middle of the segment No.
2 is as follows:
19.4.To determine the market value of the Survey No.596
and 588 which are situated immediately adjacent to already
existing main road, this Court considered the market value of the
survey No.409, 410 covered under the Group I of the Segment No.
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
1. The said lands are situated in the starting point of the formation
of the bye-pass road and the same connects with the survey No.
596, 588 of the other end of the bye-pass road. The Survey No.596
and 588 are situated at the other end of the Kallimadayam Village,
Dindigul District. The survey No.596 even though situated at the
other end of the said village, there is no congestion of the building
as in the case of the survey Nos.409 and 410. In view of the
absence of the oral evidence, this Court perused the records
produced by the department and arrives the above said
observation. But, considering that the Land Acquisition Officer
fixed the value on the basis of the guideline value to some of the
survey Number of the segment No.2 as Rs.5390/- per sq.mtr, this
Court legally presumes the potentiality of the land in Survey No.
596, 588, which are situated adjacent to the already existing
mainroad and fixes the market value of the said land reasonably
at the rate of Rs.5,100/- per sq.mtr. This Court fixes on further
descending survey Nos.589, 590 at the rate of Rs.4,700/- on the
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
ground that the said lands are situated at some distance from the
said main road. This Court further reduces the market value of the
land considering the distance from the main road for Survey No.
628, 627 and fixes it at the rate of Rs.4,300/- and further reduces
the amount to the Survey Nos.622 and 620 and fixes it at the rate
of Rs.4,000/-.
19.5. The above fixing of the compensation is popularly
called as belting system and the same was recognized by the
Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of the acquisition of the land
adjacent to the main road.
19.6. As observed earlier, it is a difficult task to arrive at
the market value of the acquired land and further the
determination of the market value differs from case to case.
Today, positive factors attached with some lands would be
diminized with the change of programme. Therefore, the Hon'ble
Supreme Court in the case of Viluben Jhalejar Contractor vs State
of Gujarat has held that amount of compensation cannot be
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
ascertained with mathematical accuracy. A comparable instance
has to be identified having regard to the proximity from time
angle as well as the proximity from situation angle. It is relevant
to extract paragraph No.20 of the said judgment:
20. The amount of compensation cannot be ascertained with mathematical accuracy. A comparable instance has to be identified having regard to the proximity from time angle as well as proximity from situation angle. For determining the market value of the land under acquisition, suitable adjustment has to be made having regard to various positive and negative factors vis-a-vis the land under acquisition by placing the two in juxtaposition. The positive and negative factors are as under:
Positive Factors Negative Factors (i) smallness of size (i) largeness of area (ii)Proximity to a road (ii) situation in the interior at a distance from the road (iii)frontage on a road (iii) narrow strip of land with very small frontage compared to depth https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,(iv)nearness to developed (iv)lower level requiring area the depressed portion to be filled up
(v)regular shap (v)remoteness from developed locality
(vi)level vis-a-vis land (vi)some special under acquisition disadvantageous factors which would deter a purchaser
(vii) special value for an owner of an adjoining property to whom it may have some very special advantage.
20. Determined Market Value of both Segment Nos.1 &
2:
20.1. It is reasonable to assume that the land nearer to the
road, namely, front belt area will sell for the highest price and
middle belt area ie., immediately next to the said front belt area
will get next highest price and the rear belt area will sell for a little
less value and based on the discussion made in the earlier
paragraphs, this Court redetermines the market value of the lands
situated in the segment Nos.1 and 2 in the following manner:
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
Survey Nos Value Fixed by this Court 419/2C, 419/2B, 420/2C, Rs.5,390/-
420/2B, 409/1B2, 409/1A2B, 410/A, 410/1B1A, 410/1B3, 409/1A2A, 419/2A, 420/2A, 412/1.
432/2A, 432/2B, 431/1B/2A Rs.5,000/-
430/1B2A, 430/1B2B, Rs.4,700/- 430/2A1, 430/1B2A 439/1C, 440 Rs.4,500/- 441/2B, 447/2 Rs.4,300/- 638/2A1 Rs.4,100/- 636/1B1 Rs.3,900/- 633/3C, 633/2, 633/4 Rs.3,600/- 622/2 Rs.4,000/- 627 Rs.4,300/-589/1A2, 589/2C, 589/1B1, Rs.4,700/-
589/B2, 590/1B1 588/1B, 1A, 1E, 1B, 1C, 588/6, Rs.5,100/-
596/1A, 1A1,
Topography office lands covered under these appeals
suits with redetermination of market value is as follows:-
21. Determination of market value of segment No.3
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
21.1. Determination of the fair market value is a changing
concept. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, House of Lords,
Supreme Court of Canada and Privy Council have emphasized
determination of the market value based on the place of willing
buyer -willing seller at arm's length. Therefore, the Court cannot
predict the arm's length of the willing seller, but, has applied the
principle of guesstimation as coined by the Hon'ble Supreme
Court.
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
21.2. The Survey Nos.588/1(c) 588/6 713/2B2 713/2A
are covered under the Segment No.III. These lands are situated
near the place, where the already existing main road is running.
Therefore, they had potential value. Even though, the authority
fixed the value on the basis of the sale consideration mentioned in
the sale deed, they have the potential value. But the said lands are
situated at a little distance far away from the centre of the viallge
and not similarly placed with the land situated in the survey No.
409, 410 of the Group I of the Segment No.1 of the land and
hence, this Court is inclined to fix the value of the said lands as Rs.
3,600/-.
21.3.By applying the above principles, this Court re-
determines the market value of the segment No.3 of various
survey Numbers Nos.713/2B2, 713/2A, 599/1A at the rate of Rs.
3,600/- per sq.mtr.

22.Determination of the Multiplier factor:
22.1. The land Acquisition Officer adopted multiplier of
1.25, but, the learned District Judge adopted multiplier of 2 on the
basis of the subsequent amended notification to the sub section (2)
of section 30 of the Right to Fair compensation and Transparency
in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013
(No.30 of 2013). This Court considered the said notification of the
Central Government in S.O.425(E) dated 9.2.2016 and the relevant
portion of the notification is as follows:
“In continuation of this Ministry’s letter of even number dated 31st March, 2016 on the subject cited above, I am directed to say that the Ministry of Rural Development has clarified that the multiplication factor of ‘2’ used to calculate award of compensation for land acquisition which is notified vide its Gazette notification No.SO 425 (E) dated 09.02.2016 is applicable to the land acquisition under the RFCTLARR Act, 2013 and in the case of appropriate Government defined under Section 3(e)(ii) and 3(e)(v) of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013 w.e.f. 01.10.2014. In other words, the aforesaid notification dated 09.02.2016 is applicable only to Union Territories (except Puducherry).
Other than cases of land acquisition in Union Territories, the notification shall apply to cases of land acquisition only when a special notification declaring such land acquisition/project as the purpose of Union is issued under section 3(e)(v) of the Act.
“2. Accordingly it has been decided that the for the purpose of
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
determination of compensation in accordance with the First Schedule to the RFCTLARR Act, 2013, for acquisition of land under the NH Act, 1956 the multiplication factor by which the market value is to be multiplied in case of rural area shall continue to be 2 (two) or as specified by the appropriate Government, in pursuance of the provisions of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013, whichever is lower w.e.f. 01.01.2015.
3. This may be brought into the notice of all concerned authorities dealing with acquisition of land and compensation therefore under the NH Act, 1956 for compliance.
4. This issues with the approval of the Hon’ble Minister (RT&H).”
22.2.Even though, the said notification has not been
incorporated under the Tamilnadu Highways Act, 2001, the said
notification is inserted in column No.3 of Serial No.2 of the first
schedule read with sub section (2) of section 30 of the Right to Fair
compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition,
Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (No.30 of 2013).
22.3.As per Sections 106, 108, 109 and 113 of the
RFCTLARR Act, 30 of 2013, the land owners are entitled to get the
benifit of the said notification. Once, the Central Government,
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 18/03/2025 02:27:13 pm ) A.S.(MD)No.143 of 2023 etc.,
notified some benifit to the Rural areas, the same has been
followed to achieve the social justice. The land owners lose their
lands and in the said situation, the benifit of the amended
notification should extend to the land owners of the villagers and
therefore, this Court concurrs with the finding of the learned
District Judge in taking consideration the notification in S.O.
425(E) dated 9.2.2016 to the present case and applying the
multiple factor of “2.00 instead of 1.25” as adopted by the Land
Acquisition Officer and hence, the framed question No.3 is
answered in favour of the land owners.
