L.A.A.No.518 OF 2009 ............................................. Dated this the 7th day of December, 2009 J U D G M E N T This is an appeal preferred against the award of the Land Acquisition Court, Thalassery in LAR.No.158/2005. 2.9 cents of land comprised in R.S.No.41/6 of Koothuparamba village was acquired for the purpose of widening a road. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded a compensation of Rs.33,376/=. The Land Acquisition Court enhanced it to Rs.10,000/= per cent. This case was tried along with LAR.No.101/2005 and an appeal was preferred as LAA.No.520/2009. The extent involved is about 2.9 cents and the enhancement also is by Rs.2,345/= which is negligible and the court below had taken into consideration the fact that the property situated is not very close to the main road. What ever it may be, since the enhanced land value is also meager and as the extent is not sizable, I decline to interfere with the award of the Land Acquisition Court making it clear that this shall not be treated as a precedent in some other cases. : 2 : With the above observation, the LAA is dismissed.
