Following the same and for the reasons mentioned therein, this appeal filed by the Land Acquisition Officer and the cross-objections filed by the claimants are partly allowed holding that the claimants are entitled to compensation for the acquired land at Rs.60/- per square yard along with all statutory benefits and are not entitled to interest from the date of taking possession. Since the possession of the land was taken earlier to the issuance of the notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Act, they are entitled to interest from the date of notification i.e., 08.09.1995 @ 9% per annum for a period of one year and thereafter at 15% per annum not only on enhanced compensation but also on Solatium and additional market value as per law declared by the Supreme Court in V.Sunder v.
