KRISHNAN, J. ........................................... L.A.A.No.129 OF 2010 ............................................. Dated this the 16th day of February, 2010. J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Land Acquisition Court, Muvattupuzha in LAR.No.93/2004. Out of a total extent of 9.20 Ares in Sy.No.96/4A of Thiruvaniyoor village, an extent of 5.16 Ares was acquired and the land acquisition officer passed an award granting a compensation of Rs.31,900/= per Are. A reference was made and the reference court enhanced the land value at the rate of Rs.10,100/= per Are. Dissatisfied with the same, the appeal is preferred. 2. The document relied upon by the claimant is Ext.A1 which is a certified copy of the judgment in LAR.175/2003. The learned land acquisition court accepted it in toto and decided to enhance the land value by Rs.10,100/= per Are. So, the basis on which the claimant wanted enhancement of the land value has been accepted by the land acquisition court and therefore,he cannot have any legitimate grievance against the award. : 2 : L.A.A.No.129 OF 2010 Therefore I do not find any ground to interfere with the award passed by the learned subordinate judge and it is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE cl : 3 : L.A.A.No.129 OF 2010
