ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.542 of 2007 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 10th day of March, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J It is relying on Ext.A1 judgment that the learned Subordinate Judge granted 75% enhancement over the rate fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer which was only Rs.2,37,624/- per Are. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the reliance placed on Ext.A1 was quite justified. Ext.A1 has become final. Even otherwise, taking into account the fact that the property is situated within the area of Aluva municipal town and was enjoying direct frontage of National Highway 47, we are of L. A. A. No.542 of 2007 -2- the view that the value re-fixed under the impugned judgment is not at all excessive. We approve the value. The appeal is dismissed. No costs. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE C. K.
