disbursed.

¶17

In the present case the Special Land Acquisition Officer offered compensation of Rs. 7,25,329/- towards land as well as well. No compensation is granted to the trees. The Reference Court enhanced the compensation to Rs. 14,00,745/-. The compensation for well has not been increased. Whereas for the fruit bearing trees compensation of Rs. 2,98,245/- is awarded. The compensation for land is enhanced from Rs. 5,84,640/- to Rs. 11,02,500/-. Apparently the enhancement is within four times and the appeal should not have been filed.

¶18

This Court finds it appropriate to permit the applicant to receive the amount. The civil application is allowed permitting the applicant to receive the amount with accrued interest on furnishing undertaking to the satisfaction of the Registrar (Judicial) of this Court. The above referred amounts are excluding the amount of interest and statutory benefits. The civil application is disposed of.
