Where a condemnation proceeding is instituted by a state agency or a political subdivision of the state to acquire real property for a purpose as set forth in section 24-56-114 and the final judgment is that the real property cannot be acquired by condemnation or that the proceeding is abandoned, the owner of any right, title, or interest in such real property shall be paid such sum as will, in the opinion of the court, reimburse such owner for his reasonable attorney, appraisal, and engineering fees actually incurred because of the condemnation proceedings. The award of such sums will be paid by the state agency or political subdivision of the state which sought to condemn the property.
