KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. ------------------------------- C.R.P. No. 417 OF 2002 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of July, 2007 O R D E R This Revision Petition under Section 103 of the Kerala Land Reforms Act is directed against concurrent orders passed by the authorities under the Land Reforms Act revising the contract rent of land which was leased out in 1958 for commercial purpose to the petitioner from Rs.5/- per mensum to Rs.150/- per mensum. I find that the revision was so made by the Land Tribunal on the basis of very valuable evidence in the form of advocate commissioner's report and also oral evidence adduced by the parties. The land in question is situated in a commercially very important locality of the Alappuzha town having in close proximity to the Collectorate junction. Even though the present enhancement may be 30 times of the original contract rate, the fact remains that even after the present enhancement the rent payable by the petitioner comes to only Rs.150/- per month. According to me, by all standards the said rate is reasonable. I do not find any error of law vitiating the impugned order warranting interference in the revisional jurisdiction under Section 103 of the Land Reforms Act. The Civil Revision Petition will stand dismissed. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE btt WPC 2
