Case Synopsis & Summary
All the land acquisition appeals arise from a common notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act dated 30-08-2006 for the construction of the Kannur University Head Quarters. The proceedings involve classification of land into ‘Garden land’ and ‘Nancha’ (wet land)/‘Semi Garden land’, with initial awards of Rs. 39,754 per cent for garden land and Rs. 16,933 per cent for nancha. The Reference Court, under Section 18, enhanced garden land to Rs. 69,794 per cent and treated semi-garden land as garden land-like, ultimately reclassifying portions as “semi garden land.” Revenue records, however, continued to show Nancha. The High Court, in this consolidated judgment, departs from the 50% reduction practice for semi-garden land and adopts a fresh comparative framework, relying on earlier decisions (notably L.A.A No. 359/2014) and exemplar Ext. A1 to A4, to fix garden land at Rs. 1,04,000 per cent and semi-garden land at Rs. 52,000 per cent. The court dismisses the State’s appeal (LA.A 107/2014) and allows cross-objections in part, directing re-fixation of land values for the respective extents (312.45 cents garden land and 268.10 cents semi-garden; and in another matter 76½ cents garden land and 3 Acres 31.98 cents semi-garden). It also grants statutory benefits under Sections 23(1A), 23(2) and 28 and exempts interest on enhanced compensation for delay. The judgment adopts a common approach given the common notification and locality, disposing of all connected matters in a unified order.

Submissions & Arguments
Contentions of Appellants / Petitioners
The appellants/claimants contend that the land values fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer and enhanced by the reference court for the garden land and semi garden land do not reflect its true market value. They urge adoption of Exts. A1–A4 as comparable sales and advocate re-fixation of garden land at Rs.1,04,000 per cent and semi garden land at Rs.52,000 per cent, following the precedent of L.A.A No.359/2014 and the reasoning that ‘Nancha’ lands with coconut trees mature enough for semi garden classification should be compensated at higher rates. They challenge the earlier 50% ratio regime and press for full application of comparable values at the time of acquisition.
Contentions of Respondents
The respondents maintain that the original classifications and the 50% ratio for semi garden land are reasonable, reflecting regulatory restraints and practical usage restrictions, including revenue orders restraining non-agricultural use. They rely on the decision in Special Land Acquisition Officer v. M.K. Rafiq Saheb to argue that certain lands require careful classification and that the semi garden lands may not fetch garden-land level values. They stress deference to the Land Acquisition Officer and reference-court findings and request dismissal or limited relief for cross objections.

| Special Land Acquisition Officer and Another v. M.K.

## **JUDGMENT**
## **Abdul Rehim,J**
All the above land acquisition appeals pertain to the very same acquisition, made for the purpose of 'construction of the Head Quarters of Kannur University'. Properties covered under all the cases are situated within the same Village of Kannur-I. The acquisition was through a same notification published under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, on 30.08.2006. Therefore all the appeals and cross objections are considered together and disposed of through this common judgment.
2. L.A.A No.107/2014 is an appeal filed by the Land Acquisition Officer along with the State Government. The 7 cross objections are filed by various claimants who are the respondents in the appeal. Property acquired in the cases were broadly classified by the Land Acquisition Officer in to “Garden land” and “Nancha
**LA.App..No.175 of 2018 & connected cases**
## **47**
land” (wet land) and awarded land value at the rate of Rs.39,754/per cent for the Garden land and Rs.16,933/- per cent for the 'Nancha' land. In the reference made under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, the Subordinate Judge's Court, Thalasserry in L.A.R No. 400/2011 enhanced the land value with respect to the Garden land to Rs.69,794/- per cent. The reference court found that the land categorized as “Nancha” are actually 'Semi Garden Land' having improvements of grown up coconut trees of the age of 30 years and above, along with other grown up trees. But at the same time it was noticed that the land remains classified as 'Nancha' in the revenue records. Therefore such lands are re-classified as 'semi garden land'. The reference court granted enhancement with respect to the 'semi garden land' at Rs.33,933/- per cent. The extent of property covered in the said case was found to be 312.45 cents of 'garden land' and 268.10 cents of 'semi garden land'.
3. L.A.A No. 174/2018 arise out of judgment of the same reference court in LAR No. 170/2010. In the said case, the Land Acquisition Officer awarded compensation by fixing the land value with respect to the 'garden land' at Rs.39,811/- per cent. With respect to the land categorised as 'Nancha'. The land value awarded was Rs.17,000/- per cent. In the said case also the reference court re-classified the property described as 'Nancha' as 'semi garden
## **LA.App..No.175 of 2018 & connected cases**
## **48**
land' and re-fixed the land value with respect to an extend of 76½ cents of 'garden land' at the rate of Rs.69,811/- per cent. With respect to 3 Acres and 31.98 cents of 'semi garden land', the land value was re-fixed at Rs.33,000/- per cent.
4. L.A.A No. 175/2018 arises out of the judgment in L.A.R No.167/2010, the land value fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer with respect to the land acquired, which is included in the category of 'garden land', was at Rs.39,794/- per cent. The reference court enhanced the land value and refixed the same at Rs.69,794/- per cent.
5. In L.A.A No. 107/2014, the Acquisitioning Authority is challenging the judgment by contending that the enhancement granted is excessive and unreasonable. On the otherhand, the cross objectors are claiming enhancement of the compensation awarded by the reference court. In L.A.A No. 174 & 175/2018, the claimants are in appeal seeking enhancement of the compensation awarded.
6. We take note of the judgment of this Court in L.A.A No. 359/2014 dated 25.05.2018, to which one among us (Justice C.K.Abdul Rehim) is a party. The case dealt with therein is with respect to the same acquisition for the very same purpose, with respect to a land situated in the very same Village. The categorisation of the land covered under L.A.A No. 359/2014, is
## **LA.App..No.175 of 2018 & connected cases**
**49**
'garden land'. This Court found that, the reference court in the judgment impugned therein had wrongly discarded the evidence adduced by the claimants through Exts.A1 to A4, which are comparable sale instances, the comparability of which was proved through the commission reports marked. This Court also found that, apart from producing Ext.R1, which is the basic documents relied upon by the Land Acquisition Officer, the Acquisitioning Authority or the Requisitioning Authority has not succeeded in proving that the land covered under the basic document is similar in nature and similarly situated, with equal prominence as that of the acquired property. On the otherhand, the claimants were successful in proving that the land covered under Ext.R1 is a land inferior in quality, remaining at a distance of 3 km from the acquired property. This Court considered that, among Exts.A1 to A4, Ext.A1 is the most suitable exemplar which can be relied upon for fixing the land value in that case. Therefore the compensation awarded with respect to the land value was revised and refixed at Rs.1,04,000/- per cent.
7. There is no much contention dispute that the 'garden land' covered under the above appeals are inferior in quality, in any manner, than the property covered under L.A.A No. 359/2014. Since the properties covered under these appeals and the property with respect to which this Court had decided L.A.A No. 359/2014
**LA.App..No.175 of 2018 & connected cases**
## **50**
are acquired for the very same purpose through the very same notification and are situated within the very same Village, the appellant/claimants in L.A.A Nos.174 & 175/2018 or the Cross Objectors in the Cross Objections in L.A.A No. 107/2014 has no case that any other better exemplar than Ext.A1 mentioned in L.A.A No. 359/2014, is available for the purpose of fixing the land value with respect to the 'garden lands' involved in the above cases. Therefore we find it totally justifiable to refix the land value with respect to the garden land in the acquired properties involved in the above appeals and cross objections at the rate of Rs.10,4000/per cent.
8. With respect to the 'semi garden land' involved in the above cases, we take note of the fact that no comparable sale instances are produced in evidence before the reference court, in any of the cases. Therefore, for the purpose of refixing the land value with respect to the semi garden land, we are inclined to adopt a comparative valuation method. It is noticed that in all the judgments impugned above, the Land Acquisition Officer as well as the reference court had fixed the land value of the semi garden land (or 'Nancha' land) more or less around 50% of the value given to the garden land. Therefore we think it appropriate and safe to follow the same ratio in deciding refixation of the land value with respect to the 'semi garden land'.
**LA.App..No.175 of 2018 & connected cases**
**51**
9. With respect to the above conclusion, Sri. Joby Jacob Pulickakkudy, learned counsel appearing for the appellants in L.A.A Nos. 174 & 175/2018 and for the cross objectors in the other appeals, raised vehement contentions. It is pointed out that the Land Acquisition Officer had fixed a reduced value on the basis that the property categorised as 'Nancha' is totally a wet land, which cannot be utilised for any other purposes. It is pointed out that the reference court had reversed the finding on appreciating the factual matrix that, even according to the mahazar the land in question was remaining not as a wet land as such. But it was found that there exists grown up Coconut trees and other trees of the age of more than 30 years. Therefore, the reference court had reclassified the land in question as 'semi garden land'. But a proportionate increase in the value was not given by the reference court. Therefore it is contended that a reduction of the value by 50% from the value re-fixed for garden land may not be reasonable.
10. In support of the above contention the learned counsel had placed reliance on a decision of the Honourable Supreme Court in **Special Land Acquisition Officer and Another v. M.K. Rafiq Saheb (AIR 2011 SC 3178).** But on the facts of the said judgment, we notice that it is with respect to the land which ceased to be an agricultural land which can be utilised for other purposes and which is situated by the side of a residential locality and was in
**LA.App..No.175 of 2018 & connected cases**
**52**
the midst of a highly developed industrial locality. It was categorically found that the land was capable of being used for nonagricultural purposes and should be considered as non-agricultural land in determination of the compensation.
11. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the requisitioning authority had pointed out that, with respect to the 'semi garden land' acquired for the purpose of the University, they could not utilise the same for construction of any building, because the Revenue Divisional Officer had issued an order of restrainment with respect to utilisation of the said land for any purposes other than agricultural operations.
12. From the rival contentions it can be seen that, the properties classified as 'semi garden land', even though ceased to be remaining as wet land, is not having the very same qualities of a garden land for the purpose of utilisation. So many statutory restrainments are there for utilising such properties for commercial purposes or for building construction. Of course, such utilisation may be available after obtaining necessary clearance and permits. But we have to take into consideration of the situation prevailed at the time of acquisition, in order to arrive at what exactly was the reasonable market value prevailed at the time of the acquisition. Therefore we are of the opinion that the reduction of 50% from the
**LA.App..No.175 of 2018 & connected cases**
## **53**
value of the 'garden land', based on the proportion adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer as well as the reference court, is quite reasonable and justifiable.
13. In the result, the above Land Acquisition Appeals and the Cross Objections are disposed as follows:
(i). L.A.A. No.107 of 2014 filed by the State is hereby dismissed.
(ii).Cross Objection Nos.115, 117, 121, 123, 127, 138 and 153 of 2019 are allowed in part.
(iii) The Cross objectors/claimants will be entitled for re-fixation of land value at the rate of Rs.1,04,000/- per cent with respect to the extent of 'garden land' acquired in the said cases which is having a total extent of 312.45 cents and the cross objectors will be entitled for re-fixation of land value at the rate of Rs.52,000/-per cent with respect to 'semi garden land' acquired in the cases which is having a total extent of 268.10 cents.
(iv) L.A.A. No.174 of 2018 is allowed. The appellants/claimants are entitled for re-fixation of the land value at the rate of Rs.1,04,000/- per cent for the garden land acquired having an extent of 76½ cents and at the rate of Rs.52,000/- per cent for the semi garden land acquired having
**LA.App..No.175 of 2018 & connected cases**
## **54**
an extent of 3 Acres 31.98 cents.
(v) L.A.A. No.175 of 2018 is allowed. The appellants/claimants will be entitled to get enhanced land value at the rate of Rs.1,04,000/- per cent for the land acquired.
14. The appellants/claimants and the cross objectors/claimants will be entitled for all statutory benefits on the enhanced compensation as provided under Sections 23(1A), 23(2) and 28 of the Land Acquisition Act, along with proportionate cost. The interest payable on the enhanced compensation shall be exempted with respect to the period for which specific orders to that effect is issued by this court while condoning delay occurred in filing the appeals.
