Both parties have filed calculation memos and the learned Principal Senior Civil Judge, Vijayawada, following the judgment reported in 1996(4) SCC 178, which was followed in 1997(4) ALD 503, has held that the payment should be first appropriated towards the principal amount and it cannot be appropriated towards interest and the Court made its own calculation and arrived at the amount payable by the judgment-debtor. The decree-holders being aggrieved by such calculations challenge the order. It is needless to say that in the subsequent judgment reported in Gurpreet Singh Vs. Union of India[1], five Judges Bench of Hon’ble Supreme Court has considered the law with regard to the appropriation of the amounts paid in cases of land acquisition and laid down the law.
