Land Aquisition under 3(A) of National Highways Act 1956


22-Jan-2023 (In Civil Law)
Our land of 324 Sq.Mtrs. along with a building therein is proposed to acquire under above NH act and under RFCT LAR&R Act,2013. Publications were made by Govt. in local news papers on 29.5.2015 & 25.7.2016. Possession was not yet taken. Objections were raised by me on 19.9.2015 itself at the time of enquiry stating that the prevailing Market value of our land is about Rs.20000/- per Sq.yd. and the said objections raised by me were rejected by LAO on 23.11.2015. Award was not yet communicated to me. But it is learnt that award was passed at Rs.1100/- per Sq.yd.(Rs.1315.5 per Sq.Mtr.) as per the basic value at the local sub-registrar office which is very low when compared to the prevailing market value.Now the question is whether to go for a writ in High Court of AP individually by me or as a group with others before communicating the award to us or after taking the award money. What are the expected expences and is there any limitation in this regard.

Hi
fair market value is the guideline for land acquisition
you have quoted the market price and the land acquisition officer has quoted basic price and both of you are incorrect
it should be the fair market value as determined in the sub-registrar office.
you can appeal against the order of land acquisition officer either with the collector or at high court.
In the event of you approaching the high court, it is preferred, you file individually and before taking the award money.
you should take a phone consultation to discuss expenses.

As per this query the possession was with you and they paid the compensation as per the GO terms and conditions, if the compensation amount is not sufficient you can approach the hon'ble Court the expected expenses are nominal and for appeal there is limitation.
