J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. This is an appeal filed against the judgment and decree in L.A.R. No. 200/99 on the file of Sub Court, Kottayam. The acquisition is for the purpose of Muvattupuzha Valley Irrigation Project. 2. It is seen that the enhancement is only 60% over the land value fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer. It is brought to our notice that in several cases this Court has sustained such fixation by granting enhancement at the rate of 60%. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE. tgs
