The compensation for land acquired should be based on the fair market value received for similar land in the neighbourhood, but not sold in auction, the Supreme Court has asserted in the case, Karnataka Housing Board vs Land Acquisition Officer. This, said the court, was because auction sales stood on a different footing. In auction, there is an element of competition, triggered by “human ego, and desire to do better than other competitors.” This leads to high prices. On the other hand, when the auction is by banks, financial institutions or courts, “there is an element of distress, a cloud regarding title, and a chance of litigation.” These factors depress the price. Therefore, auction price should not be the criterion for calculating compensation for acquired land, the court said.
