In our view, the learned Single Judge did not commit any error by relying upon sale transaction Exhibit P1 for the purpose of fixing market value of the acquired land. Undisputedly, that sale transaction was between two corporate entities and the entire sale price was paid through bank drafts. It is also not in dispute that the land which was subjectmatter of Exhibit P1 is situated at village Naharpur Kasan and is adjacent to the acquired land. The Corporation and the State Government did not adduce any evidence to prove that the land sold vide Exhibit P1 was overvalued with an oblique motive of helping the land owners to claim higher compensation. Therefore, we do not find any justification to discard or ignore sate deed Exhibit P1. The refusal of the learned Single Judge to rely upon other sale transactions in which sale price of the land was shown as Rs. 7 lakhs per acre also does not suffer from any legal infirmity because its well$known that transactions involving transfer of properties are usually undervalued with a view to avoid payment of the requisite stamp duty and registration chars. #                          -   ) <%  *      4565      “for setting up of Sector 23, HUDA, Bhiwani” (hereinafter referred to as the ‘previous acquisition’) .        5    '  " (+"!           -  )     ,    *     “for the development and utilization for residential and commercial Sector 23 part, Bhiwani”      SONIKA 2026.05.07 18:11 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document RFA29002013 (O&M) and other connected cases 8     Dpresent acquisition’  )      547   -  )< E      *               Cfor Residential cum commercial plots/land for Sector 31, Bhiwani”         Dsubsequent acquisition’ .             *           -  ) =     8, %"8&)'$ 39'&$&-&)* %"$"*- 39'&$&-&)* '+$"9'"*- 39'&$&-&)* )-&:&3 -&)* '*#"% "3-&)* 4 #" #/ +(/  #$ ##/ / #" ##0 )-&:&3 -&)* '*#"% "3-&)* 5 6 #" +(0 # #$ ##0 / #6 ##( 1&!! 2"   )  <    )   )<   E  '+!&3 '%()$" '   '  $;5%!   %      F         ' $    4       7   ' $    / %# -" ; <)'*- #  +(07G  -     4 606##7,  E    4 66##7,           .
