THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.S. APPA RAO A.S. No. 2138 of 2002 Oral Judgment: Today when this appeal is taken up for hearing, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader for Appeals appearing for the appellant and admitted to by the counsel for the respondents that connected appeal in A.S. No. 22 of 1998 arising out of the very same acquisition notification, was partly allowed by this Court by judgment dated 27.10.2004, by modifying the order of the reference Court as follows: … The learned reference Court did not commit any error whatsoever in fixing the market value of the acquired land at Rs.20,000/- per acre. Therefore, the award under appeal does not suffer from any legal infirmity so as to call for interference by this Court. However, the learned reference Court has committed an error in granting additional market value from the date of taking possession of the land instead of the date of publication of the draft notification in the official gazette on 16.07.1980. Therefore, the claimant is entitled for additional market value of the acquired land only from the date of publication of draft notification on 16.07.1980. With the above modification, the appeal is partly allowed. The respondent- claimant is entitled to all other statutory benefits including the interest on 30% solatium. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs. In the circumstances, following the above judgment and for the reasons mentioned therein, this appeal is also partly allowed. While communicating this order, a copy of the judgment in A.S. No. 22 of 1998, dated 27.10.2004 shall be annexed. No costs. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. _________________ K. S.APPA RAO, J.
