Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Aug-27-2002

Reported in: ILR2002KAR4541; 2003(3)KarLJ23

1. We have heard the learned Advocate who appears in favour of the cross-objectors as also the learned Government Pleader who represents the respondents. The first point that has been canvassed before us is with regard to the aspect of maintainability of these cross-objections because of the peculiar facts relating to the present .appeal. Admittedly, the LAO had determined the market value of the lands in question at Rs. 19,090/- per acre. The reference was made to the Civil Court for enhancement of compensation which was ultimately enhanced to Rs. 1,03,000/- per acre. The State had preferred M.F.A. No. 2107 of 1994 contending that the enhancement was excessive and an earlier Bench of this Court dismissed the appeal in question. The real question is as to whether the cross-objections would survive in these circumstances. One contention that is invariably raised on behalf of the acquiring authorities is that where the High Court has dismissed the main appeal, that cross-objections which...
