Even though Smt.Sumangala the learned Government Pleader addressed us very strenuous arguments on the various grounds raised in this appeal, we do not find any justification for interference. The property was in Muttathara Village and was acquired pursuant to Section 4(1) notification dated 25.4.1994 for the purpose of extension of runway of Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. The L.A.Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.55,086/- per Are. The reference court, on evaluating the evidence came on record re-fixed the land value at Rs.86,250/- per Are. Having gone through the impugned judgment we are of the view that the enhancement granted by the reference court cannot be said to be excessive. The appeal is dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE css/
