This submissions are entirely irrelevant for the purpose of determining the issue of enhancement of compensation. If at all the Respondents have any such grievance, it was for them to take out appropriate application before the appropriate forum to redress their grievance.

Though, in this case, no material has been placed on record by the Respondents, it should be noted that in the year 2012, this Court had determined the compensation at the rate of Rs.70,000/-. Five years have lapsed from the date of last determination. By allowing the increase at the rate of 10% p.a. it will come to approximately Rs.1,20,000/-. In the circumstances, reasonable compensation is enhanced from Rs.70,000/- to Rs.1,00,000/- per month from March, 1, 2017. The Respondentstenants are directed to pay compensation at Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh) on or before 10th of each month. In case of any default, the interim order granted earlier shall stand vacated.
