No. 3004 of 2006 [57] compensation for the acquired land.

R.F.A. Nos. 3407 to 3419, 3431 of 2006, 1354, 1355, 1357 to 1363, 1382 to 1410, 1552 to 1554, 1556 to 1561, 1812 to 1823, 1865, 1866, 2202 to 2208, 3634 to 3640, 3642, 3644, 3645, 3648, 3650, 3652, 3653, 3655, 3656, 3658, 4161, 4235 to 4239, 4247 to 4251, 4273 to 4275, 4296 to 4308, 4310 to 4315, 4360 to 4366 and 4370 to 4377 of 2007 have been filed by the Land Acquisition Collector/State seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded by the learned court below to the land owners.

R.F.A. Nos. 3311 to 3320 of 2005, 63 to 85, 173 to 175, 218 to 238, 572 to 576, 781 to 789, 815 to 823, 1105 to 1109 and 1113 of 2008 have been filed by GAMADA and PUDA seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded to the land owners.

In R.F.A. Nos. 4248 and 4250 of 2007, the land owners have filed cross objections seeking enhancement of the compensation.

Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 21.2.2000, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), State of Punjab acquired 934.81 acres of land situated in village Sohana for setting up of residential urban estate in the revenue estate of Sohana, Tehsil Mohali, District Ropar (now District Mohali). The same was followed by notification dated 2.2.2001 issued under Section 6 of the Act. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') vide award No. 481 dated 17.5.2001, determined the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 10,00,000/- per acre for the area falling on the north side of Chandigarh Landran road (upto the depth of one acre) and the area falling on the left side of Chandigarh-Landran road (upto the depth of one acre) and the land touching existing Sectors 66-69 falling on Sohana-Mauli Baidwan link road (upto the depth of one acre); Rs. 9,00,000/- per acre for chahi land and Rs. 7,50,000/- per acre for barani land. The learned Additional District Judge, on reference under Section 18 of the Act, assessed the market value of the entire land at a flat rate of Rs. 17,00,000/- per acre.

Vide same notification, 3060 kanals and 6 marlas of land situated in village Mauli Baidwan, Tehsil Mohali (now District Mohali) was acquired for the same purpose. The Collector, vide award No. 480 dated 7.5.2001, determined the market value at Rs. 10,00,000/- per acre for the land abutting Sectors 66-69; Rs. 8,00,000/- per acre for chahi land and Rs. 7,00,000/- per acre for barani kind of land. Initially, the learned Reference Court in some of the cases determined the amount of compensation payable for acquisition of the land at Rs. 12,03,320/- per acre. However, subsequently, while relying upon the award pertaining to the R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [58] acquisition of land for village Sohana, the compensation in the subsequent pending references was assessed @ Rs. 17,00,000/- per acre.

Land situated in village Raipur Khurd (District Mohali) was acquired vide same notification for the same purpose. The Collector, vide award No. 483 dated 24.12.2001, determined the market value @ Rs. 8,00,000/- per acre for chahi land and Rs. 7,00,000/- per acre for banjar kind of land. The learned Additional District Judge, on reference under Section 18 of the Act, assessed the market value @ Rs. 17,00,000/- per acre.

By the same notification, land situated in village Lakhnaur (District Mohali) Hadbast was acquired for the same purpose. The Collector, vide award No. 482 dated 17.9.2001, determined the market value @ Rs. 10,00,000/- per acre for the land touching the road of Sohana-Landran upto the depth of one acre; Rs. 8,00,000/- per acre for chahi land and Rs. 7,00,000/- per acre for banjar kind of land. The learned Additional District Judge, on reference under Section 18 of the Act, assessed the market value @ Rs. 17,00,000/- per acre.

The different awards pertaining to the aforesaid acquisition are under challenge before this Court in the set of appeals.

Learned counsel for the land owners submitted that in spite of the fact that the learned Reference Court had categorically found that the land in question is located just close to the already developed and urbanised area of Mohali close to the belt of Sectors 66 to 70. It is merely at a distance of two killas from Chandigarh-Sirhind road and one kilometer from Mohali Bus Stand. Cricket Stadium, Mohali is nearly about two kilometers from the acquired land. It is located close to the famous Sohana Eye Hospital and the development of Mohali city was towards this side. Still while relying upon sale deeds (Ex. P7 and Ex. P8) and carrying out the average thereof, a cut of 1/3rd was imposed, which was not required in the present case at all, considering the fact that the two sale deeds were for the land measuring 8 kanals and 10 kanals one marla, respectively. These sale deeds were not out of any developed area, rather, were of agricultural kind of land and no cut as such on account of development etc. was required to be imposed. It was further submitted that land in the neighbourhood was acquired vide notification dated 23.1.2004 and in the award pronounced in 2006, the value thereof was assessed at Rs. 40,00,000/- per acre by the Collector. Even if a reverse cut @ 12% per annum is made for 4 years, the value of the acquired land would still come out to Rs. 20,80,000/- per acre. It was submitted that potential of the land is evident from the fact that a small left out portion of the land was acquired vide notification dated 21.6.2006, for which vide award No. 481, the value was R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [59] assessed at Rs. 1,25,00,000/- per acre. Even if a backward cut is imposed thereon @ 12% per annum for the time gap of 6 years, the value of the acquired land would still come out to Rs. 35,00,000/- per acre. In addition to the contentions raised for seeking enhancement in the value of the acquired land, submission was made with regard to the valuation of super structure as well as fruit bearing trees standing on the acquired land.

As regards super structure is concerned, the submission is that the learned court below has not fairly assessed the value thereof. The evidence of the expert led by the land owners has been brushed aside without there being any valid reason. As against that, the award of the Collector was relied upon. There was no material on record to suggest as to on what basis the value of the super structure was assessed. Relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Union of India v. Savjiram and another, 2004(1) LACC 390, it was submitted hat once the value of the super structure was assessed on the date of acquisition, no depreciation was required to be deducted therefrom, whereas in some of the cases where the Collector had assessed the compensation after deducting depreciation, the learned Reference Court had corrected that error, whereas in some of the cases, same amount of compensation was upheld, which needs to be corrected. In addition to this, the land owners should be held entitled to compensation, as was claimed by them in the evidence led without any deduction therefrom.

As far as claim with regard to fruit bearing trees is concerned, the submission is that the learned court below had failed to consider the evidence led by the land owners to the effect that age of the trees as on the date of acquisition was much more than what was mentioned by the Collector in the award and on the basis thereof, correct value of the trees was not assessed. Once it is admitted fact on record that Dr. Nijjar's formula was to be applied for the purpose of assessment of fair value of the fruit bearing trees, the same had not been properly applied in some of the cases. In spite of there being number of judgments of this court directing for grant of increase in tune with the appreciation in the price index from the year 1985 till the date of acquisition, the same has not been granted.

Learned counsel further submitted that in a number of cases, the Collector or PUDA or GMADA have not filed any appeal against the award of the learned Reference Court, meaning thereby that they accepted the same compensation assessed to be payable to those land owners on the basis of same evidence, as has been directed to be paid to the land owners in appeal under consideration before this Court seeking further enhancement. The submission is R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [60] that the State/ the authority, for whose benefit the land is acquired, cannot be selective in filing the appeals. Once they have failed to file appeal even if in some of the cases, they should not be permitted to challenge the award of the learned court below, in the cases where they have filed appeals. Reliance was placed upon Mahadev v. The Assistant Commissioner/Land Acquisition Officer, (2002) 9 SCC

487. Judgement of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Krishi Utpadan Mandi Samiti, Sahaswan, District Badaun v. Bipin Kumar and another, 2004(4) SCC 283 was relied upon to submit that in case there is evidence on record to show that there is fast appreciation of prices in the vicinity of the acquired land, the increase can be granted to the extent of 15% per annum.

Without prejudice to the submissions made above stating that no cut at all should be applied for the purpose of determination of fair value of the acquired land, relying upon Kasturi and others v. State of Haryana, 2003(1) SCC 354, it was submitted that even if the cut is to be applied, the same should not be more than 20% considering the fact that sale instances relied upon are of fairly large piece of land and that too of undeveloped land.

Mr. Sanjeev Sharma, learned counsel appearing for the appellants in the appeals filed by GMADA submitted that it came into existence in the year 2006. Whatever information was furnished to it with regard to the acquisition of land and the position of the references by the learned court below, it had filed appeals before this Court. Prior to that, it was controlled by PUDA. He further submitted that 161 references were still pending for consideration before the learned court below, where GMADA has already got itself impleaded as respondent to safeguard its interest. Referring to Section 50(2) of the Act, it is submitted that the authority, for whose benefit the land is acquired and who is ultimately to bear the burden of payment of enhanced compensation is proper and necessary party, which should have been impleaded before the Reference Court and notice should have been issued to it. Relying upon the judgments of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Krishi Upaj Mandi Samiti v. Ashok Singhal and others, 1991 Supp. (2) SCC 419; U.P. Awas Evam Vikas Parishad v. Gyan Devi (Dead) by LRS and others, 1995(2) SCC 326; Abdul Rasak and others v. Kerala Water Authority and others, (2002) 3 SCC 228; NTPC Ltd. v. State of Bihar, (2004) 12 SCC 96; and Regional Medical Research Centre, Tribals v. Gokaran and others, 2004(13) SCC 125 it was submitted that after directing the impleadment of GMADA as one of the respondents in the appeals, the matter should be remitted back to the learned court below for consideration with liberty to GMADA to cross-

R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [61]

examine the witnesses already produced by the land owners and also lead its own evidence in defence to enable it to justify the award of the Collector. He further submitted that in the absence of any opportunity to GMADA for leading evidence in defence, it was not able to lead any evidence and for that reason, it is unable to raise any argument on the merits of the controversy to submit that the amount of compensation awarded by the learned court below deserves to be reduced.

Mr. Balwinder Singh, Advocate appearing for the Collector, referred to Section 23(3) of the Act and also matters enumerated in fifthly, sixthly and seventhly in Section 24 to submit that all what is required to be considered for the purpose of determination of fair value of the acquired land is the position as was existing on the date of acquisition thereof. As to what use the acquired land is to be put after the acquisition or any development activity carried out therein subsequently will not be relevant. In the present case, the land owners are seeking compensation only relying upon the subsequent development carried out on the land and the purpose for which the land had been acquired. Relying upon Surinder Kumar v. State of Haryana, 2006(2) RCR (Civil) 133, it was submitted that the learned court below, having assessed the value of the acquired land pertaining to village Mauli Baidwan at Rs. 17,00,000/- per acre, should not have relied upon the same in the subsequent references, as the appeal against the earlier award was pending before this Court.

Learned counsel appearing for PUDA also adopted the arguments raised by learned counsel appearing for GMADA and the Collector. In addition to that, it was submitted that in some of the cases, without there being any independent evidence on record, the earlier award pertaining to the same acquisition was followed, which is not in conformity with law.

In response to the contentions raised by learned counsel for GMADA seeking remand of the references pertaining to the appeals filed by it, it was submitted by learned counsel for the land owners that the prayer made by GMADA is totally misconceived. GMADA came into existence in the year 2006, which is successor- in- interest of PUDA. PUDA was well within knowledge of acquisition of land, award of the Collector and the pendency of references before the learned court below. In case they had failed to protect their interest at the relevant time, they cannot be permitted to plead before this court at this stage that on account of lack of knowledge, they could not take appropriate step at the stage R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [62] when the references were pending before the learned court below and the fact having come to their knowledge now, they should be permitted to be impleaded in the proceedings and opportunity be provided to them to rebut the evidence led by the land owners for seeking further enhancement of compensation and also challenging the award of the Collector. A reference was made to the evidence led by the land owners in the form of statements of PW6-Vidya Nath (Vijay), Accounts Officer, PUDA; PW8- Sanjeev Gupta, SDO PUDA and PW9- Madan Mohan, Kanugo PUDA in support of the contention to corroborate that once the officers of PUDA were appearing as witnesses in the land references before the learned court below, the plea that they were not aware of the pendency of the proceedings is totally misconceived. He further submitted that as is borne out from the facts pleaded at the time of hearing of the appeals in a number of cases, no appeal has been filed by the Collector, meaning thereby that the award pertaining to some of the land owners has been accepted. Even otherwise, there cannot be any prayer for remand of the cases to the Reference Court in appeals filed by the Collector on the ground, as is sought by PUDA or GMADA. As far as PUDA and GMADA is concerned, they have filed appeals in very few cases, meaning thereby that in other set of cases, they are not aggrieved of against the award. Still further, even though the land owners had filed appeals in this court long back, but still no effort was made by PUDA or GMADA to get themselves impleaded or file cross objections to safeguard their interest.

Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the relevant referred record.

After the hearing was concluded on 25.2.2009, learned counsels representing the Collector, PUDA and GMADA were asked to file affidavits furnishing details of land references decided and appeals filed against the same to this Court. The text of the order is extracted below:

" This bunch of appeals pertains to the acquisition of land of four villages namely, Sohana, Lakhnor, Mauli Baidwan and Raipur Khurd, acquired vide notification dated 21.2.2000.
During the course of hearing, it transpired that large number of land references were decided by the learned Reference Court. The Land Acquisition Collector filed appeals in some of the cases and not in all of them. In some of the cases, the Punjab Urban Development Authority filed appeals, whereas in some of the cases, the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority filed appeals.
As far as the appeals filed by the Collector are concerned, it R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [63] shall file affidavit giving particulars of the total number of land references decided by the Reference Court pertaining to the aforesaid acquisition. In case, it is mentioned in the affidavit that the appeals have not been filed in all the cases decided by the Reference Court, the reasons therefor shall also be stated therein.
In so far as the appeals filed by the Punjab Urban Development Authority are concerned, it shall file affidavit explaining in the affidavit as to in how many land references the appeals have been filed in this court and if the award of the Reference Court in all the cases has not been challenged, the reasons therefor.
Some of the appeals have been filed by the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority. It shall also file affidavit giving the number of such appeals filed by it and also the reasons for not filing the appeals in all the cases decided by the Reference Court and also for not filing application for being impleaded as party respondent in the appeals filed by the land owners seeking further enhancement of compensation.
The aforesaid affidavits be filed on 26.2.2009. A copy of this order be given to the counsel for the parties under the signatures of the Court Secretary."

Though the Land Acquisition Collector filed affidavit but PUDA and GMADA did not file any affidavit within the time granted or even three days thereafter. As the judgment could not be kept pending, the material already on record was considered.

A perusal of the affidavit of Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Development Department, Mohali dated 26.2.2009 shows that in number of land references, no appeal has been filed either by the Land Acquisition Collector, PUDA and GMADA. To put the record straight, I deem it appropriate to extract the relevant paragraphs of the affidavit, which are as under:

"4, That in Award No. 480 in 24 cases the claimants had also filed appeals and PUDA/GMADA had filed 106 appeals which also include the 24 cross appeals filed by the claimants. However, in 27 cases, a verbal decision was conveyed by the higher authorities of PUDA/GMADA to await the decision in the connected appeals and to file only cross objections to the appeals filed by the claimants/land owners. Hence, no appeal had been filed in 27 cases accordingly.
R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [64]
5. That in Award No. 481 in 56 cases filed by the claimants/ land owners, the office of Ld. Advocate General, Punjab had been requested to file the cross objections. In 56 cases claimants had also filed appeals and PUDA/GMADA had filed 291 appeals which also include the 56 cross appeals filed by the claimants. However, in 59 cases, a verbal decision was conveyed by the higher authorities of PUDA/GMADA to await the decision in the connected appeals and to file only cross objections to the appeals filed by the claimants/ land owners. Hence no appeal had been filed in 59 cases.
6. That in Award No. 482 in 4 cases the claimants had also filed appeals and PUDA/GMADA had filed 18 appeals which also include the 4 cross appeals filed by the claimants. However, in 3 cases, a verbal decision was conveyed by the higher authorities of PUDA/GMADA to await the decision in the connected appeals and to file only cross objections to the appeals filed by the claimants/ land owners. Hence no appeal had been filed in 3 cases.
7. That in Award No. 483 only 2 Land Reference had been received which had been sent to the learned Reference Court. Both the references were decided and in both the appeals had been filed by PUDA/GMADA."

A perusal of the contents of the aforesaid affidavit shows that in number of cases neither the Land Acquisition Collector nor PUDA or GMADA filed any appeal before this Court. There are 496 appeals listed before this court, out of which 80 appeals have been filed by the State of Punjab; 67 appeals have been filed by by Land Acquistion Collector, Urban Estates; 10 appeals have been filed by PUDA and 75 appeals have been filed by GMADA. The grouse regarding non-impleading of necessary party is raised only by GMADA and PUDA. In spite of the fact that 258 appeals filed by the land owners are pending in this court and well within the knowledge of PUDA and GMADA, but no application for being impleaded as parties therein has been filed. Meaning thereby in a very few appeals, the grouse is sought to be raised regarding non-grant of opportunity and if claim made therein is accepted, only very few land references will be remanded back to the learned Reference Court. In none of the appeals filed by the collector or the State, such an issue could either be raised or granted. PUDA even could not be permitted to plead lack of knowledge of the pending references, as their officials had appeared as witnesses on behalf of the land owners. Considering the aforesaid facts and also the judgment of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Mahadev's R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [65] case (supra), I do not find any merit in the contention raised by learned counsels for GMADA and PUDA to remand the matters back to the Reference Court for granting them opportunity and accordingly proceed to deal with the same on merits on the basis of the evidence produced on record by the parties.

As far as determination of fair value of the acquired land is concerned, in my view, two sale deeds Ex. P7 and Ex. P8, as are relied upon by the learned court below, are the best piece of evidence. The genuineness thereof cannot be doubted for the reason that those were registered well prior to the date of issuance of notification under Section 4 of the Act. Vide sale deed Ex. P7 dated 14.8.1996, one acre of land was sold for a sum of Rs. 20,00,000/-. This part of the land is forming part of the acquired land. Another sale deed is Ex. P8 dated 22.7.1996, vide which 10 kanals and one marla of land was sold for a sum of Rs. 20,00,000/-. The land forming part of this sale deed is situated abutting the acquisition boundary. The area, which has been dealt with in the aforesaid sale deeds cannot be said to be of small piece of land, as it was one acre and 1.25 acres, respectively. As the notification under Section 4 of the Act in the present case was issued on 21.2.2000, the learned court below granted increase @ 12% per annum for the intervening period and after averaging the value of the land pertaining to the sale deeds applied a cut of 1/3rd.

In my opinion, in the facts and circumstances of the present case, the value of the acquired land, as determined by the learned court below, certainly deserves some further appreciation. It is for the reason that the sale instances Ex. P7 and Ex. P8, which have been relied upon by the learned court below were not for small piece of land and were also not from the area, which was already developed. Rather, the same was of agricultural land only, for which a cut of 1/3rd was not required. Secondly, as far as grant of increase @ 12% per annum for the intervening period is concerned, in view of the judgment of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in The General Manager, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. v. Rameshbhai Jivanbhai Patel and another, JT 2008(9) SC 480, the increase, if it is to be granted, has to be at cumulative rate and not simple rate.

Further other two factors, which are quite relevant for the purpose of determination of fair value of the acquired land, are that for the acquisition carried out vide notification dated 23.1.2004, vide which land of 5 villages, namely, Manali, Chhila, Raipur Khurd, Kumbra and Mauli Baidwan was acquired for the purpose of development as Sector 81 onwards at Mohali. The Collector himself vide his separate awards dated 26.12.2006 determined the value at Rs. 40,00,000/- per acre. Still further, for a small chunk of land, which was left out of the R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [66] acquisition originally because of litigation and acquired vide notification dated 21.6.2006, the Collector assessed the value thereof at Rs. 1.25 crores per acre. However, I do not find any merit in the contention raised by learned counsel for the land owners that a reverse cut be applied from the value so determined in subsequent acquisition. However, they are certainly entitled to increase @ 12% per annum on the average value shown in sale deeds Ex. P7 and Ex. P8 for the intervening period of 3-1/2 years at cumulative rate. Average value of sale deeds Ex. P7 and Ex. P8 comes out to Rs. 17,77,780/- per acre. If increase @ 12% per annum is granted thereon at cumulative rate for 3-1/2 years, the amount comes out to Rs. 26,47,541/- per acre.

As far as application of cut on the value so determined is concerned, considering the fact that the sale transactions are not of so small piece of land that it deserves a cut of 1/3rd. The sale deeds pertain to one acre and 1.25 acres of land, which was being used for agricultural purposes at that time. The land pertaining to these sale deeds were located at different places having different advantages/disadvantages, meaning thereby that it is not that the sale deeds pertaining to some prime land are being considered for the purpose of assessment of the value of the entire chunk of land. In Kasturi's case (supra), Hon'ble the Supreme Court upheld the application of 20% cut while determining the fair value of the acquired land therein. In the present case, the fact remains that the land in question is abutting the already developed belt of Sectors 70 to 75, along with which the present land was acquired for development as Sectors 76 to 80. Subsequent acquisition in 2004 was carried out for development of Sector 81 onwards, meaning thereby that the land had great potential for being urbanisation and further the Collector himself having appreciated the value of the land for subsequent acquisition carried out in 2004 and 2006, as referred to above, in my opinion, a cut of 25% thereon would be appropriate. Accordingly, while reducing the amount therefrom, the value of the acquired land is determined at Rs. 19,85,700/- (rounded off) per acre.

As far as value of super structure is concerned, it has been consistent opinion of this court that in the absence of any expertise available with the court to determine the value of the super structure with minute details, as it is always seen that the land owners try to claim much more amount as compared to the actual value and on the other hand, the State makes conservative estimate on the basis of set principles, an increase of 25% on the value so assessed by the Collector is granted as a thumb rule. Accordingly, following the same in the present set of appeals as well, for the super structure existing on the acquired land, the land R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [67] owners shall be entitled to additional amount of 25% over and above the value of the super structure as assessed by the Collector.

As no details regarding the amount for each of the land owners, as awarded by the Collector or by the learned Reference Court were furnished at the time of hearing, as an abundant caution, it is made clear that in case in any of the land reference, the court below while considering the evidence in detail has granted additional compensation for the super structure, which is more than 25% of the value so assessed by the Collector, the same is upheld.

As far as claim pertaining to fruit bearing trees is concerned, the contention of learned counsel for the land owners was that age of the trees standing on the acquired land was 4 to 6 years at the time of acquisition, which has been taken by the Collector as merely 2-3 years. The correct principle for determination of value of the fruit trees has also not been applied. In the present case, the land owners have produced their own witnesses to prove the value of the trees as were existing on the acquired land. It is not in dispute that at the time of carrying out the inspection for the trees standing on the acquired land, no notice was given to the State/Collector. As against this, the Collector has assessed the value of the trees on the basis of the report of Horticulture Department. Finding the report of the Collector to be more trust worthy, the learned court below placed reliance thereupon for the purpose of determination of fair value of the fruit bearing trees on the acquired land. As far as number of trees is concerned, there is not much difference. Accordingly, the evidence led by the land owners with regard to the age of the trees, being not in the nature of a piece of evidence which could only be considered and the award of the Collector on that account should be rejected, I do not find any reason to differ with the view expressed by the learned Reference Court on that account. Accordingly, as far as age of the trees is concerned, the award of the learned court below is upheld. Similarly, I do not find any weight in the contention raised by learned counsel for the land owners that the value of fruit bearing trees has not been assessed by the Collector in terms of Dr. Nijjar's formula, as no defect with reference thereto has been pointed out in the report so prepared.

However, I find merit in the submissions made by learned counsel for the land owners to the effect that increase in the price index for the intervening period from 1985 till 2000 has not been granted in some of the cases and if granted, is not in conformity with settled principles therefor. The price index in the year 1985 was 125 which increased to 484.9 in the year 2000. There is 287.5% increase in the intervening period. Accordingly, the value of fruit bearing trees, as R.F.A. No. 3004 of 2006 [68] was assessed by the Collector as per Dr. Nijjar's formula as in 1985, shall be further increased by 287.5% in terms of the increase in the price index during the intervening period. If certain increase has been granted by the learned court below on the value as determined, as per Dr. Nijjar's formula, the same shall be corrected in the aforesaid manner.

The land owners shall also be entitled to all statutory benefits available under the Act.

The appeals and cross-objections are disposed of in the above terms.
