SRI.P.V.JAYACHANDRAN FOR R2 THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 21/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE & K. SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.408 of 2004 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 21st day of October, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J This is an appeal preferred by the Government being aggrieved by re-fixation of value of both dry lands and wet lands in Punnapra village acquired for the purpose of development of T.D. Medical College at Alappuzha. For the wet lands, the Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.1802/- per Are (This case involves only wet lands). A careful reading of the impugned judgment which is common judgment in L.A.R.15/98 also will show that the value of wet lands has been re-fixed at Rs.6165/- per Are. But in the statement forwarded to this Court along L. A. A. No.408 of 2004 -2- with the judgment, it is written that the value is re- fixed at Rs.16,645/- per Are. This is patently a mistake. We dispose of the appeal clarifying that the value re-fixed under the impugned judgment is at the rate of Rs.6165/- per Are only. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE K. SURENDRA MOHAN JUDGE kns/-
