THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION Nos.17250 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition appearing for the respondents. In this writ petition, an award was passed by the Land Acquisition Oﬃcer under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’) on 18.08.1995 ﬁxing the compensation for the lands belonging to the petitioners. On a reference made by the petitioners under Section 18 of the Act, though the compensation was enhanced to 100%, it is not in dispute that on a further appeal by the Government, the compensation was reduced to 80%. Be that as it may, in these writ petitions, the petitioners are aggrieved by the action of the respondents in not paying compensation in terms of the Judgment and decree of this Court in A.S.No.678 of 2004 dated 23.03.2006. The non-payment of the compensation is admittedly on the basis of a letter addressed by the advocate of the petitioners stating that the petitioners have waived their right to seek compensation in terms of the Judgment in A.S.No.678 of 2004 dated 23.03.2006. Aggrieved by the said action, the present writ petition is filed. When the matter is taken up for consideration, it is brought to my notice by the learned counsel for the petitioners that having considered the eﬀect of the similar letter addressed by the counsel for the claimants covered by the same notiﬁcation, W.P.No.14864 of 2007 was disposed of by this Court by order dated 20-09-2007 holding as under: “The only stand of the respondents is that the claim for interest was given up as per the letter ﬁled by the petitioners and therefore, they cannot make a claim for the same. But, a perusal of the letter no doubt does not make any reference either to additional market value or solatium, which was already deposited by the Land Acquisition Oﬃcer, to which the petitioners are entitled to in respect of the properties they have lost. When once the additional market value and solatium has already been deposited by the Land Acquisition Oﬃcer, equally, the petitioners are entitled to interest on additional market value as well as solatium, as per the judgments of the Supreme Court. In the circumstances, the respondents are directed to deposit the interest payable on the additional market value as well as solatium within a period of two months, failing which, the petitioners are entitled to ﬁle EPs seeking execution of that part of the decree passed by this Court in the appeals. With reference to the amounts already deposited, the Court below is directed to disburse the same without insisting for filing any full satisfaction memos.” The fact that the petitioners herein are also similarly situated and the additional market value as well as solatium to which the petitioners are entitled to has already been deposited by the Land Acquisition Oﬃcer has not been disputed by the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. In the circumstances, following the order in W.P.No.14864 of 2007, these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondents to deposit the interest payable on the additional market value as well as the solatium within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J.
