RFA No. 90 of 2005. 23.12.2009. Present: Mr. A.K.Bansal, Addl. Advocate General, for the appellants. Mr. Anup Rattan, counsel for the respondents. RFA No. 90 of 2005. Mr. Bansal, learned Additional Advocate General has confined his submissions in the appeal regarding interest only granted by the learned District Judge, Solan in paragraph- 29(c) of the impugned award. The notification, under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, the Act) was published in the gazette on 20.3.1993. It has not been disputed by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents also that by now it is settled that interest is payable under Section 28 of the Act from the date of publication of the Notification under Section 4 of the Act. The learned District Judge has awarded interest in paragraph 29(c ) from the date of possession. The respondents are entitled to interest at the rate of 9%, 15% as the case may be from the date of publication of notification under Section 4 of the Act and not from the date of possession. In these circumstances, the impugned award dated 13.6.2003 regarding payment of interest awarded in paragraph 29(c ) of the award requires modification. Therefore, the appeal is partly allowed only to the extent that respondents shall be entitled to interest at the rate of 9% per annum from 20.3.1993 for one year and thereafter at the rate of 15% per annum and not from the date of possession. The rest of the impugned award is upheld. The appeal is disposed of in the above terms. December 23, 2009. ( Kuldip Singh ), (Hem) Judge.
