The land being big chunk, 1/3rd of the price has to be reduced as at least this much land is required for development purposes, for roads, parks and public utilities. Therefore, the rate per square yard comes to Rs.39.17 as on the date of notification dated 4.6.1980 and Rs.44.37 per square yard as on the date of notification dated 13.3.1981 and at Rs.51.07 per square yard as on the dates of notification dated 22.6.1982 and 5.7.1982. Accordingly, the market price of the land under different acquisition notifications is assessed at Rs.39 per square yard in respect to land acquired for Sector 6 (represented by Notification dated 4.6.1980), Rs.44 for Sector 3 (represented by Notification dated 13.3.1981) and Rs.51 for Sectors 9 & 7 (represented by the notifications dated 22.6.1982 and 5.7.1982).
