Judgment
Acquisition and the learned counsel for the respondent/claimant fairly conceded that the matter is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in A.S.No.1192 of 2004, dated 24.04.2007, whereby this Court confirmed the fixation of the market value of the land acquired therein at Rs.40,000/- per acre for dry land and Rs.50,000/- per acre for dry wet land, following the judgment of this Court in A.S.No.2733 of 1996 and batch, dated 26.02.1998. Following the above said judgment dated 26.02.1998 in A.S.No.2733 of 1996 and for the reasons mentioned therein, this appeal is allowed reducing the compensation in respect of the dry land from Rs.50,000/- per acre to Rs.40,000/- per acre, while confirming the fixation of the market value in respect of dry wet land at Rs.50,000/- per acre. It is needless to observe that the claimants are entitled to all statutory benefits as per the judgment of the Supreme Court in Sunder v. Union of India[1]. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY ______________________ JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Date: 13.04.2010 [1] AIR 2001 SC 3516
