The land belonging to the respondents were acquired for a public purpose. The Land Acquisition Officer fixed the land value Rs. 7,780/- and awarded the compensation . The court below enhanced the land value at the rate of 3,000/- per cent . Challenging that enhancement this appeal is filed. I have carefully gone through the judgment rendered by the court below . The court below had considered all aspects of the matter and came to the correct conclusion that the respondents were entitled to get the enhanced compensation. The court below had considered Ext.A2 common judgment passed in L.A.R. No. 34/1999 and connected cases. So I am of the view that the compensation enhanced is reasonable. There is no scope for interference and the appeal is only to be dismissed. In the result the appeal is dismissed. Order in I.A No. 2951 of 2007 will stand dismissed. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR,JUDGE es
