Gurpreet Singh vs Union Of India on 19 October, 2006
8. After hearing learned counsel for the parties we find that
there is substantial compliance with the provisions of the Act
providing for payment of compensation. A perusal of the affidavit
filed by Shri T.K. Goyal, P.C.S., Collector Land Acquisition,
Department of Industries and Commerce, Punjab, Chanidgarh, dated
27.8.2009, would show that payment of the amount of 80% of the
estimated compensation of the land was made on 23.12.1997 and
23.1.1998 to petitioner Nos. 1 and 2 respectively. The balance
CWP No. 10568 of 2009 6
amount of 20% compensation, which included the element of interest
under Section 34 of the Act, as per the award has also been received
by the petitioners on 11.6.1999. A perusal of Annexure R-1
appended with the aforesaid affidavit shows that the compensation
has been paid by including the element of solatium @ 30%,
additional market value @ 12%, interest @ 9% for the first year and
interest @ 15% for the subsequent years. Therefore, there is
substantial compliance of the provisions of the Act. It is well settled
that interest under Section 34 of the Act on delayed payment is
payable, as has been held by Hon'ble the Supreme Court in the cases
of Gurpreet Singh v. Union of India, (2006) 8 SCC 457 and
Sunder v. Union of India, (2001) 7 SCC 211.
