This appeal is remaining in the defect list on the reason that service is not completed. But on going through the impugned judgment, we find that the finding of the learned Subordinate Judge regarding market value is based on Ext.A1 , a relevant document. In fact under Ext.A1 the value revealed was Rs. 30,000/- per cent. The court below did not become inclined to grant so much of land value. What the court below did was to notice the fact that the acquired property is in Thalassery town and award land value of Rs. 12,000/- per cent. The approach of the learned Subordinate Judge in our opinion is quite reasonable. The appeal will stand rejected. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI JUDGE sv.
