It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed. 

 -  3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15. 5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971. 6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.',

These appeals by the Special Land Acquisition Officer, Hemavathi Reservoir Project, II, Hassan, are directed against the common Award and Decrees dated 17th November, 1973 made in L.A.C. Nos. 70 and 77 of 1973 on the file of the Court of the Civil Judge, Hassan.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. As already stated, the net income of dry lands has been assessed by the Court below at Rs. 180 an acre and that of the wet lands at Rs. 360 an acre. We capitalise the said amounts by 15 years' purchase value and arrive at the market value of the dry lands and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Accordingly, we allow these appeals and fix the market value of the dry and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 an acre and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively. The Award and the Decrees of the Court below are modified. The claimant will be entitled to the usual solatium of 15% of the market value fixed. Parties shall bear their own costs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. Appeals allowed.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed.

The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971. 6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value.

Nos. 70 and 77 of 1973 on the file of the Court of the Civil Judge, Hassan.</p><p>2. Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.</p><p>3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.</p><p>4. In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p>5.

Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.</p><p>3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.</p><p>4. In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p>5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971.</p><p>6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p>7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.</p><p>8. As already stated, the net income of dry lands has been assessed by the Court below at Rs. 180 an acre and that of the wet lands at Rs. 360 an acre. We capitalise the said amounts by 15 years' purchase value and arrive at the market value of the dry lands and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively.</p><p>9. Accordingly, we allow these appeals and fix the market value of the dry and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 an acre and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively. The Award and the Decrees of the Court below are modified. The claimant will be entitled to the usual solatium of 15% of the market value fixed. Parties shall bear their own costs.</p><p>10. Appeals allowed.<p></p><p>',

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed.

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed. 

 -  3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15. 5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971. 6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.',

These appeals by the Special Land Acquisition Officer, Hemavathi Reservoir Project, II, Hassan, are directed against the common Award and Decrees dated 17th November, 1973 made in L.A.C. Nos. 70 and 77 of 1973 on the file of the Court of the Civil Judge, Hassan.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. As already stated, the net income of dry lands has been assessed by the Court below at Rs. 180 an acre and that of the wet lands at Rs. 360 an acre. We capitalise the said amounts by 15 years' purchase value and arrive at the market value of the dry lands and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Accordingly, we allow these appeals and fix the market value of the dry and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 an acre and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively. The Award and the Decrees of the Court below are modified. The claimant will be entitled to the usual solatium of 15% of the market value fixed.

These appeals by the Special Land Acquisition Officer, Hemavathi Reservoir Project, II, Hassan, are directed against the common Award and Decrees dated 17th November, 1973 made in L.A.C. Nos. 70 and 77 of 1973 on the file of the Court of the Civil Judge, Hassan.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. As already stated, the net income of dry lands has been assessed by the Court below at Rs. 180 an acre and that of the wet lands at Rs. 360 an acre. We capitalise the said amounts by 15 years' purchase value and arrive at the market value of the dry lands and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Accordingly, we allow these appeals and fix the market value of the dry and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 an acre and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively. The Award and the Decrees of the Court below are modified. The claimant will be entitled to the usual solatium of 15% of the market value fixed.

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed.

He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. As already stated, the net income of dry lands has been assessed by the Court below at Rs. 180 an acre and that of the wet lands at Rs. 360 an acre. We capitalise the said amounts by 15 years' purchase value and arrive at the market value of the dry lands and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Accordingly, we allow these appeals and fix the market value of the dry and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 an acre and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively. The Award and the Decrees of the Court below are modified. The claimant will be entitled to the usual solatium of 15% of the market value fixed.

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed.

Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre.

There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands.

In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8.

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed. 

 -  3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15. 5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971. 6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.',

Nos. 70 and 77 of 1973 on the file of the Court of the Civil Judge, Hassan.</p><p>2. Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.</p><p>3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.</p><p>4. In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p>5.

In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p>7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return.

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed. 

 -  3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15. 5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971. 6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.',

Nos. 70 and 77 of 1973 on the file of the Court of the Civil Judge, Hassan.</p><p>2. Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.</p><p>3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.</p><p>4. In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p>5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971.</p><p>6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p>7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.</p><p>8. As already stated, the net income of dry lands has been assessed by the Court below at Rs. 180 an acre and that of the wet lands at Rs. 360 an acre. We capitalise the said amounts by 15 years' purchase value and arrive at the market value of the dry lands and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively.</p><p>9. Accordingly, we allow these appeals and fix the market value of the dry and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 an acre and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively. The Award and the Decrees of the Court below are modified. The claimant will be entitled to the usual solatium of 15% of the market value fixed. Parties shall bear their own costs.</p><p>10.

These appeals by the Special Land Acquisition Officer, Hemavathi Reservoir Project, II, Hassan, are directed against the common Award and Decrees dated 17th November, 1973 made in L.A.C. Nos. 70 and 77 of 1973 on the file of the Court of the Civil Judge, Hassan.</p><p>2. Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.</p><p>3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.</p><p>4. In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p>5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971.</p><p>6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p>7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.</p><p>8. As already stated, the net income of dry lands has been assessed by the Court below at Rs. 180 an acre and that of the wet lands at Rs. 360 an acre. We capitalise the said amounts by 15 years' purchase value and arrive at the market value of the dry lands and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively.</p><p>9. Accordingly, we allow these appeals and fix the market value of the dry and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 an acre and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively. The Award and the Decrees of the Court below are modified. The claimant will be entitled to the usual solatium of 15% of the market value fixed. Parties shall bear their own costs.</p><p>10.

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed.

In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p>5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971.</p><p>6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p>7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.</p><p>8. As already stated, the net income of dry lands has been assessed by the Court below at Rs. 180 an acre and that of the wet lands at Rs. 360 an acre. We capitalise the said amounts by 15 years' purchase value and arrive at the market value of the dry lands and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively.</p><p>9. Accordingly, we allow these appeals and fix the market value of the dry and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 an acre and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively. The Award and the Decrees of the Court below are modified. The claimant will be entitled to the usual solatium of 15% of the market value fixed. Parties shall bear their own costs.</p><p>10.

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed.

A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security.

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed.

Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.',

Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.',

In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.',

In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.',

Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.',

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed.

A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.',

Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.',

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed. 

 -  3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15. 5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971. 6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value.

These appeals by the Special Land Acquisition Officer, Hemavathi Reservoir Project, II, Hassan, are directed against the common Award and Decrees dated 17th November, 1973 made in L.A.C. Nos. 70 and 77 of 1973 on the file of the Court of the Civil Judge, Hassan.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5.

It is the Portuguese Family Law which would apply, in so far as their matrimonial relationship is concerned. The fact that the petitioner and the respondent underwent a Hindu marriage ceremony at a later point of time, would not have the effect of the parties becoming subject to the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Hindu Marriage Act not having been extended to the State of Goa as on the date of their marriage i.e., 26.12.2002 the said Act and the provisions thereunder would not apply. Further, A suit for divorce by parties governed by the Portuguese Family Law within the State of Goa, can file the same in the Court of domicile within Goa or in the Court having jurisdiction over the place where the plaintiff resides (also within the State of Goa). It cannot be construed that a plaintiff who is residing outside the State of Goa could also file a suit or petition for divorce outside  the State of Goa, as in the present case, in a place where he or she is residing outside Goa. The Courts, in the rest of India, would have no jurisdiction to entertain suit (petition) under the Provisions of the Portuguese Family Law pertaining to divorce. The laws relating to succession and marriage might not be the same all over the country and different areas in the State might have different laws in respect of those matters. Though the respondent is now living at Belgaum, on the premise that if there was a possibility of reconciliation, her domicile would be that of the Petitioner at Goa, it can safely be said that a suit by the respondent would lie in the State of Goa in terms of Article 5 before the Court of domicile. In view of this, it can be said that the Portuguese Family Law would be the Court of domicile, within the State of Goa. Impugned order was quashed. 

 -  3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15. 5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971. 6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.',

These appeals by the Special Land Acquisition Officer, Hemavathi Reservoir Project, II, Hassan, are directed against the common Award and Decrees dated 17th November, 1973 made in L.A.C. Nos. 70 and 77 of 1973 on the file of the Court of the Civil Judge, Hassan.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Several acres of wet and dry lands situate in Mandira village, Alur Taluk in Hassan District, were acquired for the Hemavathi Reservoir Project, pursuant to the Preliminary Notification published in the Mysore Gazette dated 2nd January, 1971. The Land Acquisition Officer, in the award made by him under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, fixed the market value at Rs. 2.200 an acre for dry Lands and at Rs. 5,400 an acre for wet lands. The basis of his valuation was the capitalisation of the net income assessed by him. He assessed the net income of the dry land at Rs. 150 an acre and that of the wet land at Rs. 362 an acre. He employed the multiple of 15 and capitalised the net income for the purpose of arriving at the market value.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The claimant was not satisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Officer and therefore sought reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act. Before the learned Civil Judge, the claimant did not adduce evidence of any transaction of sale of similar lands. The claimant alone was examined with regard to the yield from the lands. There was not much variance between the evidence of P.W. 1 regarding the yield and the income estimated by the Land Acquisition Officer. The Court was of the opinion that the deduction made by the Land Acquisition Officer for cultivation expenses was excessive, and therefore, fixed the net income at Rs. 130 an acre for dry lands and at Rs. 360 an acre for wet lands. The Court, however, adopted the multiple of 20 and thus arrived at the marked value of Rs. 3,600 an acre for dry lands and Rs. 7,200 an acre for wet lands.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. In these appeals, the learned High Court Government Advocate, did not dispute the net income as assessed by the Court below and, in our opinion, rightly, as the same is based on the evidence on record. The learned Advocate, however, submitted that the learned Civil Judge was in error in employing the multiple of 20 for the purpose of capitalisation of the net income. He argued that there was no material for the learned Civil Judge to capitalise the net income by employing the multiple of 20 when the Land Acquisition Officer had employed the multiple of 15.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. The only question for determination in these appeals is as to what is the proper multiple to be employed for valuation of the wet and dry lands acquired in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. In the absence of evidence of transactions of sale of similar lands, one of the well-known methods of valuation is the method of capitalising the net income by employing 3 proper multiple, which is called the number of years' purchase value. The number of years' purchase value depends upon the rate of return which a prudent investor in the class of property would expect in the relevant year. A person investing his capital in agricultural lands ordinarily expects a return of 2% to 3% more than what he could obtain from Gilt-edged Security, Government Security is Gilt-edged Security. When the rate of return has to be determined, the valuer has to start with the rate of return from Gilt-edged Security in the year 1971.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">7. In the Government of Karnataka Publication called 'Finance Accounts for 1972-73' at page 180, it is seen that the rate of interest on the Mysore State Development Loans issued in the years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 was uniformly 53/4%. Mysore Government's Loan is also Gilt-edged Security. Therefore, when the Government Securities earn 53/4% return, an investor in agricultural lands would naturally expect a higher rate of at least 7% return. If an investor in agricultural lands like dry and wet lands in the State would expect a minimum of 7% return in the year 1971, the proper multiple to be employed for the purpose of capitalisation cannot exceed 15 which is the multiple adopted by the Land Acquisition Officer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. As already stated, the net income of dry lands has been assessed by the Court below at Rs. 180 an acre and that of the wet lands at Rs. 360 an acre. We capitalise the said amounts by 15 years' purchase value and arrive at the market value of the dry lands and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Accordingly, we allow these appeals and fix the market value of the dry and wet lands at Rs. 2,700 an acre and Rs. 5,400 an acre respectively. The Award and the Decrees of the Court below are modified. The claimant will be entitled to the usual solatium of 15% of the market value fixed.
