Learned Government Pleader addressed our attention to the judgment in LAA.No.363/2008 and submits that following that judgment the market value of the property under acquisition will also have to be refixed at Rs.4,10,000/-. The submission of Mr.V.T.K.Mohanan that the judgment in LAA.No.363/2008 decides the issue of land value in favour of the Government is correct. But as pointed out by the learned counsel for the respondent the stakes involved in this appeal is too small to be interfered with. In view of the smallness of the stakes we sustain the impugned award by the Reference Court. The appeal is dismissed. We make it clear that this judgment will not be taken as a precedent in any case pertaining to acquisition for construction of Jagathy bridge. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,JUDGE pmn/ C.K.ABDUL REHIM,JUDGE LAA.1091/2010 2
