PER COURT : . These first appeals are filed by the original claimants being aggrieved by the award passed by the Reference Court for enhancement of the compensation. The appeals are admitted. Shir Kudale, learned counsel for appellants/original claimants states that, the Division Bench of this Court vide judgment dated June, 19, 1998 in First Appeal No. 128/1985 with other connected appeals had determined the amount of compensation in respect of lands which were acquired for the same project for which the lands were acquired in present appeals. The Division Bench of this Court in the said appeals has determined the compensation at the rate of Rs. 9,000/- per acre. In the light of the fact that the Division Bench of this Court has already determined the compensation in respect of lands acquired for the same project for which the lands involved in present appeals are acquired, I am bound by the said judgment. For the reasons recorded in the judgment dated June, 19, 1998 in First Appeal No. 128/1985 with other connected appeal I allow these appeal and hold that the appellants are entitled for the amount of compensation at the rate of Rs. 9,000/- per acre together with 4 fa 382.98 solatium and statutory interest thereon. 2. The first appeals are accordingly disposed of, however, with no order as to costs. [ S. V. GANGAPURWALA, J. ] bsb/March. 11
