The Land Acquisition Officer awarded compensation to the land holders @ 2500 per bigha which has been enhanced by civil Court to Rs. 6,000/- per bigha against which the land owners have referred appeals. The respondent Rajasthan State Electricity Board also preferred appeals against the enhancement of the award by the civil Court. The appellant land owner submitted two applications under Order 41, Rule 27 CPC on 30th July, 1996 and 6.2.2003. In the application submitted on 30.1.1996, the appellants submitted that in another land acquisition proceedings for another land which is identically situated land like the applicant's land, the Land Acquisition Officer passed the award on 28.12.1988 and determined the compensation for the land in that case at the rate of Rs. 14000/- per bigha. It is submitted that copy of the said award may be taken on record because of the reason that in the award dated 28.2.1988, the notification under Sec.4(1) was issued even prior to the notification issued in present land acquisition proceedings and the land in both the matters are situated near about and not much far away. 14000/- per bigha.

Not only this, two surroundings of the two lands are similar, therefore, the compensation given in the land acquisition case in which award was passed on 18th June, 1988 is relevant for the purpose of determination of the land value of the present land in favour of the appellant. By another application under Order 41, Rule 27 CPC, the appellants sought permission to place on record copy of the judgment of this court delivered in SB Civil Misc.

Jai Ram & Ors. and connected appeals, the land compensation has been awarded to the land owner at the rate of 11,000/- per bigha.

However, the respondents are permitted to produce any evidence in rebuttal which they think proper. In view of the above, the application filed by the appellant dated 30th July, 1996 and 2.2.2003 under Order 41, Rule 27 are allowed.
