We do not find any warrant for interference in this case. The property was in Kowdiar village and the acquisition was pursuant to section 4(1) notification published on 7/12/1999. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.42,914/- per Are which was enhanced by the reference court to Rs.65,000/- per Are. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we feel that the approach of the learned Subordinate Judge was quite reasonable. Moreover, we notice that the total stakes involved in this appeal is below 15,000/-. For both these reasons this appeal will stand dismissed. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JUDGE dpk
