Considering the market value of the lands to be Rs. 50/- per square metre in the year 1993, the appellants would be entitled to an increase of 10% per annum for three years. The market of value of the lands would thus come to Rs. 50/- plus Rs. 15/- = Rs. 65/- per square metre for jirayat lands. For bagayat lands the market value is required to be computed at the rate of one and a half times the rate for jirayat lands. Accordingly, the market value of bagayat lands would come to Rs. 75.00/- plus Rs. 22.50 = Rs. 97.50 per square metre. 67. The Reference Court has awarded compensation at the rate of Rs. 20/- per square metre for jirayat land and Rs. 30/- per square metre for bagayat land. The appellants would therefore be entitled to additional compensation of Rs. 45/- per square metre (Rs. 65.00 - Rs. 20.00) for jirayat land and Rs. 67.50 per square metre (Rs. 97.50 - Rs. 30.00) for bagayat land. 68. Insofar as First Appeals No. 1546 of 2018 to 1550 of 2018, First Appeals No. 1552 of 2018 to 1559 of 2018 and First Appeal No. 1561 of 2018 are concerned, the notification under section 4 of the Act came to be published on 19.01.2004.

Thus, adopting Rs. 65/- per square metre for jirayat land and Rs. 97.50 per square metre for bagayat land as the basis as on 1996, the appellants-claimants would be entitled to 10% increase per annum for eight years, that is, from 1996 to 2004. Accordingly, the market value of the lands would come to Rs. 117/- per square metre (Rs. 65 + Rs. 52) for jirayat land and Rs. 175.50 per square metre (Rs. 97.50 + Rs. 78) for bagayat land. 69.
