The claimants are in appeal. Our attention is drawn by the learned counsel for the appellants to our own judgment in L.A.A. NO.269/2009. The learned counsel placed before us a copy of that judgment. It is seen from that judgment that for identical properties acquired for the same purpose, this Court has refixed the value of land at Rs.1,50,000/- per Are. Following the decision taken in that case, we allow this appeal and refix the market value of land under acquisition at Rs.1,50,000/- per Are. The appeal is allowed as above, but without any order as to costs. The appellants/claimants will be entitled for all statutory benefits admissible under Section 23 (2), 23 (1A) and Section 28 of the Act on the total enhanced compensation to which they become eligible by virtue of this judgment.
