By reasoned order, the coordinate bench fixed the rate of Rs.1728/- per Are. The reliance was placed on various judgments. The selfsame sale exemplar can be made applicable. I do not find any difficulty in awarding the same rate. The lands of the appellants are dry lands. They are entitled to enhancement. 7. It is rightly pointed out by Mr. Tambe, learned counsel for the respondents that the interest in all the appeals has been awarded from the date of notification which is impermissible in view of the judgment of Full Bench in the case of State of Maharashtra vs. Kailash Shiva Rangari (supra). 8. Applicants are entitled to have interest from the date of notification which is mentioned in above referred paragraph. I, therefore, pass the following order : O R D E R (i) All First Appeals are allowed partly with proportionate costs. (ii) The appellant/s shall be entitled for the enhanced compensation of their land i.e. for dry land @ 1,728/- per Are. (iii) The appellant/s shall be entitled to interest from the date of Award i.e. 31.07.1998 and 13.01.1999. ( 7 ) 20 to 26 FA 452 OF 2023++ (iv) The appellant/s shall not be entitled to interest and statutory benefits for delayed period. (v) All First Appeals are accordingly disposed of. (vi) In view of disposal of First Appeals, all pending Civil Applications stand disposed of. ( SHAILESH P. BRAHME, J. ) PRW
