This appeal is filed against the judgment and decree in L.A.R.No.51/2003 on the file of the Sub Court, Thodupuzha. The reference court relied on Ext.A7 judgment in L.A.R.No.64/2002. There is no appeal against that judgment. The same has become final. That apart, it is seen that the property covered by Ext.A7 is wet land whereas the acquired property in the instant case is garden land, which is obviously more valuable. It has also come out in evidence that the acquired property is near to the property referred to in Ext.A7 judgment. For all these reasons we do not find any ground to interfere with the judgment and decree. The market value fixed is just and reasonable. As we thus agree with the reasoning and finding of the reference court we dismiss the appeal. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) (K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE) ahg.
