The claimant examined PWs1 and 2, produced Ext.A1 and also relied on Exhibit C1 commission report. On the basis of the materials, the court below passed the impugned award granting 30% of the land value towards the diminution of utility of the property as additional compensation. The amount so awarded is Rs.15,000/-. 3. On going through the award passed by the court below, this Court find that the fixation of amount for diminution of land value is based on evidence. The amount fixed by the C.R.P. No. 124 of 2005 2 court below is very reasonable and justifiable, in the facts and circumstances of this case. The revision petition is without any merit. Hence dismissed. HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE
