This first appeal under section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 ( for short "the Act, 1894") is at the instance of the original claimant and is directed against the judgment and award dated 30.12.2017 passed by the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Surendranagar in the Land Reference Case No.47 of 2003.
