No.24 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 6th day of August, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J The Government is in appeal challenging the re-fixation of market value of land in Kawdiar village acquired for the purpose of road widening for TRIDA pursuant to Section 4(1) notification published on 30/10/04 at Rs.30 lakhs per Are. Sri.V.T.K.Mohanan, the learned Senior Government Pleader drew our attention to the judgment of this Court in L.A.A.1507/09 by which one of the cases covered by the impugned common judgment was interfered with and remanded to the Reference Court. Sri.Lal George L. A. A. No.24 of 2010 -2- appearing for the claimant drew our attention to the judgment of this Court in L.A.A.867/08 and L.A.A.2008/08 and requested that the market value be finally fixed by this Court. We would have been inclined to accept the submission of Sri.Lal George but for the fact that LAA.1507/09 which is already remanded pertains to one of the cases covered by the impugned common judgment. We set aside the judgment and decree under appeal and remand L.A.R.184/08 to the Second Addl. Sub Court, Thiruvananthapuram. That court is directed to take a fresh decision, if necessary, after affording opportunity to both sides to adduce evidence. It is open to the claimant to place reliance on whatever relevant judgments of this court are available with him L. A. A. No.24 of 2010 -3- before the Reference Court. Parties will enter appearance before the Reference Court on 08/11/10. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE C. K. ABDUL REHIM JUDGE kns/-
