BALAKRISHNAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.21 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 4th day of March, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J Even though the respondents have been served with notice, they have not turned up before this Court to resist this appeal preferred by the Requisitioning Authority M/s KSIDC. Sri.Joby Cyriac, the learned counsel for the appellant would draw our attention to the judgment of this Court in L.A.A.464/08 and submit that under that judgment this Court interfered with the judgment of the Reference Court in an identical matter and remanded the LAR with direction to re-fix the market value. According to him, the same course is to be adopted in this case also. We do not find any reason not to accept the submission of Sri.Joby Cyriac. Hence, we set aside the judgment and decree under L. A. A. No.21 of 2011 -2- appeal and remand LAR.364/05 to the Principal Subordinate Judge's Court, Thalassery. That court is directed to fix the market value of the land under acquisition afresh after affording opportunity to all parties to adduce whatever further evidence they want to. While re-fixing the market value, the court will have due regard to the observations of this Court in its judgment in L.A.A.464/08. A copy of the above judgment will be placed before the learned Subordinate Judge by the Requisitioning Authority. The Registry will not re-fund the court fee remitted on the appeal memo. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE N. K. BALAKRISHNAN JUDGE kns/- L. A. A. No.21 of 2011 -3-
