THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------- L.A.A.No. 1634 of 2007 ------------------------------- Dated this the 26th November, 2007. J U D G M E N T Challenge in this appeal is with regard to the enhancement of compensation awarded for 0.81 Ares of dry land comprised in Sy.No.175/10-1,2 of Pallippuram Village. The second respondent in L.A.R.No.190/2003 has filed this appeal complaining that the Land Acquisition Officer has awarded land value at the rate of Rs.7876/= per Are. The Court enhanced the same to Rs.9414/= per Are. According to me, the compensation awarded is reasonable. The extent acquired is negligible and considering that fact, I do not propose to interfere with the enhancement awarded in this case. The appeal is only to be dismissed. In the result, the appeal is dismissed. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE nj.
