Compulsory land acquisition

Dear sir/madam,

        We have 28 acres agricultural land situated at hullatti village, city ranebennur, dist Haveri, State karnataka.  Our land has been acquired by city muncipalty in the year 2008 for dumping the wastages, on that time we got compensation, but we didn't satisfied then we went to claim excess compensation as 10,00,000 per gunta (means 40 gunta = 1 acre).  In the last month i.e.August 2014 Judgement has been done by Prl. Senior Civil Judge at: Ranebennur.  Compensation has been fixed at 2,40,000/- per acre, after this judgement we decided to go for appeal at High Court.  

Our questions are, is there any court fees or deposit we need to remit before placing an appeal?

If yes, how much?.  We already paid lot of amount to the lawyer, he is asking extra fees, we are not able to pay the excess fees.  so, is there any alternative way to face the case without lawyer in High Court?  

Do we get any benefit from - The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in land acquisition rehabilitation and resettlement Act 2013, recent judgement is made on Land Acquision Act 1894?

 

Please reply me a solution as early as possible, thanks in advance.

The Court fee for filing appeal is very nominal and not exiorbant as stated  by the advocate.  .It is always better to keep all the copies of papers filed by your lawyer to enable you to change the lawyer in such situations like this. You require a service of advocate to file appeal in the High Court and afterwards if Court grants permission you may personally explain the facts before High Court. The present Act enacted is prospective and may not be applicable to your case.
