C.R. Shyam Kumar, learned senior Government Pleader and having taken into account the judgment of this Court in C.O.No.90/2009 in LA.A.No.2160/2008 and other connected cases, we are of the view that the issue raised in this memorandum of cross objection is covered in favour of the cross objectors almost fully. For the reasons stated in the common judgment, we allow the cross objection and refix the market value of the land under acquisition at Rs.10 lakhs per Are. The cross objectors will be entitled for all statutory benefits admissible under Sections 23(2),23(1A) and 28 of the L.A.Act. The cross objection is allowed without any order as to costs. But it is clarified that the interest under Section 28 will become admissible only from the date of dispossession. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. K. HARILAL, JUDGE. cl
