Kuriakose, J Even though Smt.Latha T. Thankappan, the learned Senior Government Pleader addressed us strenuously, we are of the view that the enhancement granted by the learned Subordinate Judge under the impugned judgment which is at 20% above what has been awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer, is quite reasonable and is justified on the evidence which is available on record. We do not find any warrant for interference. The appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE K. SURENDRA MOHAN JUDGE kns/-
