ARUN PALLI, J.

The State of Punjab and another", vide which this Court had enhanced the compensation awarded to the claimant/landowners. That being so, this appeal is disposed of in terms of the decision of this Court in the case of Gurmeet Singh (supra). The claimant/landowner is held entitled to the compensation at Rs. 19,09,476/- per acre with effect from the date of notification under Section 4, i.e. 03.10.2000. Needless to assert that the claimant/landowner shall also be entitled to all the statutory benefits as admissible in law. The impugned award is accordingly modified.
