SRI.K.A.JALEEL, SC., TRIDA FOR R2 THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 19/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------ L.A.A.No.74 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 19th day of August, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. Even though there is some merit in the submissions of the learned senior Government Pleader Sri.Basant Balaji that the court below was not justified in relying on Ext.A1 for the reason that it is a post notification document and that too in respect of the property in another village, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned judgment. We notice that the property was in Thirumala Village within the limits of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation and that market value, now redetermined under the impugned judgment, is more or less equal to the market value of the property at the relevant time. In fact we notice that in respect of the same acquisition, we have approved refixation at higher rates by the learned Subordinate Judge. The total stakes involved in this appeal also is not much. For all these reasons, this appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE dpk
