148. The Court will now proceed to award what it considers reasonable for each of
the heads of properties listed. Ahead of the award for damages the Court notes that
the number of market stall listed in exh C (iii) is 220 as against 300 listed in the
summary of reliefs sought in page 15 of the amended Application. The Court
therefore admits as established 220 market stall. Also the number of household items
and motor vehicles are not stated in the summary of reliefs, but the Court notes that
the numbers are reflected as 220 and 123 in Exhibit D and F respectively thus they
are so admitted.
