IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA FA No.316 of 1994 Prakash Kumar Jha and others Versus The State Of Bihar through the Collector, Katihar ----------- For the appellant: Mr. Jitendra Prasad Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sanjay Kumar, Advocate --- 5 16/4/2010 This appeal has been preferred under section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act,1894 challenging the award passed by the Reference court in LA Case no.18 of 1988 on 5th of January, 1994. The Reference Court in paragraph -6 has mentioned that the land owner had parted with possession after accepting the valuation suggested by the competent authority. It is submitted by learned counsel for the State that once the appellants had accepted the valuation suggested by the competent authority and parted with the possession, no further claim made on their behalf can be allowed. Be it noted, the Reference Court had allowed Rs.2000/- as severance allowance per acre, but it is not clear whether the appellants have been granted the interest on solatium. Solatium has to be a part of the entire amount and that has to be computed towards compensation in view of the 2 decision rendered in Sunder V. Union of India, AIR 2001 SC 3516. Hence, the said amount has to be granted along with other statutory dues. The appeal is allowed in part. There shall be no order as to costs. Neyaz/ (Dipak Misra, CJ.)
