Special Land Acquisition Officer[1], the starting point for awarding interest is the date of issuance of notification under Section 4(1) of the Act and hence, the claimants are not entitled to interest from the date of taking possession, but are entitled to interest only from the date of issuance of notification. In view of the same, the award of interest from the date of taking possession is, accordingly, set aside and the same is confined from the date of issuance of notification i.e., 04.03.1996 at 9% per annum for a period of one year and thereafter at 15% per annum on compensation amount including Solatium. The Appeal Suits are, accordingly, allowed to the extent indicated above. There shall be no order as to costs.” In view of the same, these appeals are partly allowed in terms of the judgment of this court dt. dt.4-2-2011 passed in AS. Nos.843 and 882 of 2002. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J _________________________ B.CHANDRA KUMAR, J February 11, 2011 KMR [1] 2002(1) SCC 142
