THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO Appeal Suit No. 3852 and 3854 of 2000 Dated: 8-12-2010 Common Judgment: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Goda Raghuram) These appeals are directed against the common order in a batch of O.Ps. dated 31-10-1995 passed by the reference court of the learned Principal Subordinate Judge, Visakhapatnam. A.S.No. 3852 arises out of the order in so far as it pertains to O.P.No. 102 of 1989 and A.S.No. 3854 of 2000 arises out of the order in O.P.No. 101 of 1989. As against the other O.Ps., disposed of by the common order, namely, O.P.Nos. 100, 101, 103 and 104 of 1989, A.S.No. 480 of 1997 and batch were filed, considered and disposed of by a learned Division Bench of this Court by an order dated 28-4-2004. The learned Division Bench concurred with the determination of the market value arrived at by the learned reference court based on Exs.A1 and A2-registration extracts of sale deeds as well as Ex.A6 dated 19-2-1986 and the certified copy of the order and decree passed by the same court relating to the adjoining lands. This Court held that the fixation of compensation at the rate of Rs.21-00 per Sq. yard is justified and reasonable and calls for no interference. The appeals were dismissed declaring the entitlement of the claimants for payment of other statutory benefits including interest on solatium on the market value of the lands as determined by the reference court. For reasons alike, these appeals are dismissed. The claimants herein shall be entitled to interest on solatium and other statutory benefits under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 on the value of the lands as determined by the reference court in O.P.Nos. 101 and 102 of 1989. There shall however be no order as to costs. ___________________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J 8th December, 2010 _______________________________ N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO, J GRR
