...2/4… CMA No. 63/2014
// J U D G M E N T //
1. The applicant has filed this Civil Miscellaneous
Application No. 63/2014 against the opponents for
recovery of Rs. 52,154/ as amount of compensation
paid excessively to the Opponent No. 1. The notice of
this application is duly served upon opponent No. 1,
however, he is failed to appear before the Court, and
therefore, no reply is filed on behalf of the
opponent.
2. Read the application and perused the copy of judgment
passed by the Land Acquisition Reference Court as well
as the Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat produced vide
Exh. 3/1 to 3/4. Heard, the learned Advocate for the
applicant, while nobody remained present on behalf of
opponents.
3. Upon reading the judgment passed by the 3rd Addl. Sr.
Civil Court, Gandhinagar, it transpires that the Court
awarded Rs. 6.30/ per sq. mtr. to the present
opponent No. 1 over and above the amount of
compensation already awarded by the land acquisition
officer. It is reflected from the record that the
present applicant has preferred firs appeal before the
Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat against the award passed
by the 3rd Addl. Sr. Civil Court, Gandhinagar. It is
also reflected that the present applicant has
deposited Rs. 80,043/ before the Court of Principal
Sr. Civil Judge, Gandhinagar on 12.12.2005, and the
present opponent No. 1 has withdrawn the amount by the
order of the Court. Now, it is made clear that the
Honb’le High Court of Gujarat has decided in first
appeal of the present applicant on dated 21.01.2014,
wherein, the judgment of the reference court has been
modified to the extent awarding compensation to the
original claim @ Rs. 6.30/ per sq. mtr. for the
6th Addl. Sr. Civil Judge
...3/4… CMA No. 63/2014
period of three years from the date of taking over
possession alognwith interest @ 9% p.a. on additional
amount i.e. 27.09.1993 to 26.09.1996.
4. This CMA is filed with respect to LAR No. 413/1998.
The present applicant has deposited an amount of
compensation @ Rs. 6.30/ per sq. mtr. which comes to
Rs. 80,043/ and the present opponents have withdrawn
this amount by the order of the reference court. Now,
as the Hon’ble High Court has fixed the amount of
compensation as to be Rs. 6.30/ per sq. mtr. for the
period of three years from the date of taking over
possession alognwith interest @ 9% p.a. on additional
amount i.e. 27.09.1993 to 26.09.1996. The applicant
has deposited Rs. 52,154/ more amount than the
requisite amount of Rs. 27,889/. The calculation
showed by the applicant seems to be true and
therefore, I accept the arguments of learned Advocate
for the applicant that Rs. 52,154/ has been paid more
than the amount requires to be paid to the opponent
No. 1. Under the circumstances and in view of the
discussion made herein above, the applicant proves
that it has paid Rs. 52,154/ more to the opponent No.
1 than the amount required to be paid to him. The rate
of interest, if awarded @ 7% p.a., it will be just and
proper. Under the circumstances, this CMA No. 63/2014
requires to be allowed, and allowed accordingly by
passing following final order;
// O R D E R //
1. This Civil Miscellaneous Application No. 63/2014 filed
by the applicant is hereby allowed.
2. The applicant is entitled to recover Rs. 52,154/ from
opponent No. 1 with interest @ 7% p.a. from the date
of deposit till today, on the amount of recovery.
