I will re-work the compensation taking the income as assessed at Rs. 6,300/- and tabulate the same as under:-
The total compensation payable shall be Rs. 4,60,300/- with interest as awarded already. The amount in excess of what has already been granted by the Tribunal shall attract interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum from the date of petition till the date of payment.
The award is modified and the appeal is allowed to the above extent.
