No.69 of 2008 ------------------------------- Dated this the 5th day of August, 2011. J U D G M E N T PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, J. This appeal pertains to acquisition of the garden land for the purpose of construction of by-pass. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at Rs.7,107/- per cent. Reference court in the first instance would refixed the land value at Rs.20,000/- per cent. The claimant preferred an appeal and the matter was remanded. The impugned judgment is passed pursuant to that remand order. Under the impugned judgment, the market value of the land is refixed at Rs.30,000/- per are. Eventhgouh several apparently attractive grounds have been raised and Sri.V.T.K.Mohanan, learned Government Pleader, addressed arguments based on all those grounds, when we take into account other judgments of this Court pertaining to acquisition of land in the same village and nearby 2 L.A.A. No.69 of 2008 villages for the same purpose, we can not say that the land value presently fixed is excessive. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE ami/
