By our order dated 13/10/2009, we found that the court below was justified in relying on Ext.A1 (L.A.R. No.385/1991). It was also noticed that L.A.R. No. 385/1991 was decided on the basis of the judgment in L.A.R. No. 390/91. Having found that both these judgments are relevant, we directed the Registry to verify and report whether this judgment have been appealed against and if so with what result. The Registry now reports to us that neither against Ext.A1 nor against the judgment in L.A.R. No.390/91 no appeal was preferred. Thus those judgments have become final. Under these circumstances, this appeal is dismissed. No costs. It is clarified that for the total enhanced compensation to which the claimants become eligible by virtue of the judgment of the reference court and as confirmed by us under this judgment, they will be entitled for all statutory benefits including interest on solatium. LAA.No. No.824/2002 2 The Cross Objection is allowed. Both sides will suffer their respective costs.
