The lands of the appellants herein were acquired in the year 2007. 13. In this background, we feel that ends of justice would be met if the market value of the lands acquired from the appellants is fixed at Rs. 4,50,000/- per acre by modifying the order dated 2nd February, 2018 passed by the High Court. 14. Accordingly, we hereby direct that the appellant-claimants shall be entitled to compensation towards the acquired lands at the rate of Rs. 4,50,000/- per acre with all statutory benefits, interest and costs.
