1) ion respect of those farmers that agreed to accept Rs 9 lakh by regd sale deed the terms of agreement would be binding upon them

2) in respect of other farmers who agreed to accept Rs 12 lakhs by consent award the said award would be binding upon them

3)if you have agreed to accept the amount you cannot now claim 4 times market value and the limestone deposits

4) the regd sales deed as well as consent award has to be peruse to advice further

1)whether the consideration amount of Rs 9,00,000/acre mentioned in registered sale agreement can be considered as market value according to new land act 2013

How did you get this idea of market value and what was the reason to consider it so because the government has re-fixed the rate later on, would you consider that to be the market value?

2) if so are we entitled for compensation 4 times of market value Rs 9,00000 with added escalation for 3 years

Is there any such rule that the compensation can be escalated to 4 times of the market value?, I dont think there is any.

3) can we claim the ownership of limestone deposits and hence higher compensation.

A few excerpts on compensation as per law is reproduced below.

The provisions of KIADB land acquisition act is reproduced below for your information with regard to the compensation rules:

After the compensation amount is determined, the Collector must ensure that payment

occurs within 60 days. Possession of land shall not be taken unless full compensation

is paid or tendered to the land owner.

5. Land owners whose property has been acquired under urgency shall be compensated

an additional 75% of the market value of the land.

6. If the acquisition is for a company, shares or debentures of 20-50% of the

compensation amount must be offered through these options. The interested person

may either accept this offer or opt for a full cash settlement.

7. Market value of the land to be computed by Percentage of Sale Deeds: Three criteria

are prescribed by the Bill for determining the market value of land, the highest value

among which should be adopted by the Collector for the purpose of fixing the actual

value of land. The criteria refers to the sale prices of recently done sales of similar

lands, computed from "not less than 50%" of the total transactions, "where the price

has been higher.

(1) Where any land is acquired by the State Government under this Chapter, the State Government shall pay for such acquisition compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Act.

(2) Where the amount of compensation has been determined by agreement between the State Government and the person to be compensated, it shall be paid in accordance with such agreement.

(3) Where no such agreement can be reached, the State Government shall refer the case to the Deputy Commissioner for determination of the amount of compensation to be paid for such acquisition as also the person or persons to whom such compensation shall be paid.

(4) On receipt of a reference under sub-section (3), the Deputy Commissioner shall serve notice on the owner or occupier of such land and on all persons known or believed to be interested herein to appear before him and state their respective interests in the said land.

1. You can apply for fair compensation under the new land acquisition act. Whether or not the consideration amount can be considered as market value is a question of fact which can be decided only after a judicial inquiry.

2. The fair compensation would cover the escalation cost from the date of compensation till the lodging of claim.

3. The ownership of limestone deposits cannot be claimed, but this does not take away your right to claim fair compensation.
