Accordingly, the judgment and decree under appeal are set aside and the land value is fixed at 45% over and above the value fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer. The claimant shall also be entitled to all statutory benefits, including interest on solatium. The appeal is partly allowed as above. CMP No.1103/03 : Dismissed. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
