dated 28.10.1998 enhanced the compensation. The State thereafter filed an

appeal in this Court in which the compensation was reduced. LPA of the

petitioner was dismissed on 14.7.2005. The Hon’ble Supreme Court

remanded certain matters on which compensation was again enhanced. The

petitioner did not approach the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
