THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------ L.A.A.No. 412 OF 2010 ------------------------ Dated this the 31st day of May, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. This appeal by the Government pertains to acquisition of land in Perumbaikadu Village for the purpose of development of M.C.Road. Notification under Section 4(1) was published on 22/9/2006 . The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.1,48,836/- per Are. The Reference Court, on evaluating the evidence which came on record, refixed the land value at Rs.2,75,347/- per Are thus awarding enhancement of around 46% over what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. Even though Sri. R.Bindu, learned Government Pleader addressed strenuous arguments, having gone through the impugned judgment, we feel that it is more or less the correct market value of the property at the relevant time, which has been arrived at by the learned Sub Judge. We do not find any LAA.No.412/2010 2 warrant for interference. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM , JUDGE dpk
