Even though apparently attractive grounds are raised by the Government in this appeal and Smt.Latha T.Thankappan, learned senior Government Pleader addressed arguments based on those grounds, having scanned the impugned judgment and having kept in mind other judgments of this court pertaining to acquisition in respect of the same project, we are of the view that the rate presently fixed under the impugned judgment is not excessive. We also notice that a lump sum of Rs.20,000/- is awarded as compensation for injurious affection. We feel that the above award also is not excessive. The appeal is dismissed. No order as to costs.
