STATE OF U P Vs. KALI DEEN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) -This first appeal has been preferred against the judgment and order dated 30.4.1992 passed by Sri R. K. Shukla, Additional District Judge, Allahabad in Land Acquisition Reference No. 85 of 1989 under Section 18 of Land Acquisition Act (hereinafter referred to as the Act).

(2.) I have heard the standing counsel for the appellants and Shri S. D. Shukla for respondent.

(3.) IT appears that before the reference court, the respondent examined himself as P.W. 1 and stated regarding the location of the land. He also stated regarding the potential value and further stated that it can fetch Rs. 50,000 per bigha. However, that statement is not very material and can be of no help in assessing the market value. The reason is that everybody considers his article to be very valuable. The statement of the respondent is only his wishful thinking.
