J U D G M E N T This is an appeal preferred against the award of the Land Acquisition Court, Mavelikkara in LAR 537/94. An area having an extent 1.20 Ares of wet land in Sy.No.5553/ 353/22 was acquired from the claimant. The Land Acquisition officer awarded a compensation and dissatisfied with the same a reference was made. The reference Court awarded 60% of the land value in Ext.A1 which is a copy of the judgment in LAR 612/91. Against the judgment in LAR 612/91, an appeal LAA 953/97 was filed before this Court and it ended in dismissal. The learned Subordinate Judge has discussed the matter in detail and held that the land covered by Ext.A1 is of more importance and on a comparison with that, large value cannot be granted and therefore it refixed the land value at 60% of the revised land value in Ext.A1. Therefore it fixed the land value at Rs.3,135/- per Are and awarded the difference of L.A.A. 129 OF 2007 -2- Rs.2,394/- per Are as enhanced land value. The Land Acquisition Court had considered the matter only in the proper perspective in the light of the judgment in Ext.A1. Therefore the award does not call for any interference. Hence the LAA is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
