The property was in Keezhallur Village and the acquisition was pursuant to Section 4(1) notification published on 15/5/1998 for the purpose of Kannur Airport. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs. 468/- per cent. The Reference Court under the impugned judgment refixed the land value at Rs.1,500/- per cent. We rely on various other judgments of this court pertaining to acquisition of land in the same village for the same purpose pursuant to the same notification and allow this appeal to the extent of refixing the market value of the land at Rs.2,500/- per cent. 2. The appeal is allowed as above. The appellant/claimant will be entitled for all statutory benefits admissible under L.A.A..No.1121/2010 2 Section 23(2), 23(1A) and Section 28 of the Act on the total refixed compensation to which he becomes eligible by virtue of this judgment.
